invoke script from Swing - How

[chz013]

Hi
I like to automate a dial-up process from unix
with GUI as the front-end for a user.

Is anyone willing to share on how I could achieve that ?
I'm not sure how in
actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) implementation
that I could invoke this script to dial-up
from unix via modem to a remote access server.

Any help is fully appreciated.

Try :

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/local/bin/myscript"

sedj
thanks for the response.
But I still have the problem

else if ("Dial".equals(actionCommand))
{
try {
String[] cmd = {"/usr/bin/bash", "/wongz/scripts/test"};
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

} catch ( java.lang.Exception f ) {
System.out.println("dial in actionPerformed fails"
}

}

when I run the GUI, and picked Dial as menuitem,
I still dont see the output.

test
echo Hello Wold !

Even when I change to
else if ("Dial".equals(actionCommand))
{
try {

String[] cmd = new String[1];
cmd[0] = "/usr/bin/bash /wongz/scripts/test";

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);

System.out.println(cmd);

} catch ( java.lang.Exception f ) {
System.out.println("dial in actionPerformed in StatConfigMain"
}

}

I got
dial in actionPerformed in StatConfigMain
dial in actionPerformed in StatConfigMain
bash-2.03#

I tried again and I got the following trace:
test file is there but I'm not sure why
it's complaining.

Anyone with any suggestions?
Fully appreciated

Try this:

Process proc = rt.exec("/usr/bin/bash /wongz/scripts/test");

and you have a directory called /wongz from root, are you sure it's not /usr/wongz or /home/wongz?

Thanks for your response

Yeah I'm 100% sure

does &quot;which bash&quot; return /usr/bin/bash on the OS console ?

Can you run the command (ie EXACT command) from the console ?

Are you running the test using the same user as you are from the java app ?
