Running a Shell Script using java ( process Builder ) with a specific unix user

Question

I have developed a web application ( deployed on a weblogic server ) , I want to connect to the solaris server and execute a shell script with a specific unix user. At present , the script runs with a wls user. Here's the portion of my code :

String CLA="-d";
out.println("Stopping ASAP for the changes to reflect ...");
                        ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("/bin/ksh","/apps/vpn/asap/scripts/stop_asap_sys_tool"+" "+CLA);
                        process = processBuilder.start();
                        InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
                        InputStream isErr = process.getErrorStream();
                        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
                        InputStreamReader isrErr = new InputStreamReader(isErr);
                        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
                        BufferedReader brErr = new BufferedReader(isrErr);
                        String line;
                        String lineErr;

                        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                            System.out.println(line);
                        }
                        while ((lineErr = brErr.readLine()) != null) {
                            System.out.println(lineErr);
                        }

My search result suggests to use Jsch. Can some one give me an example with respect to my implementation on using Jsch. Or any other way of doing it ?!

THanks , Bhavin

Can you properly format your code please... – Dane Balia Jan 25 '13 at 07:43 — Dane Balia, Jan 25 '13 at 07:43

Jsch is a good way to go, here is something to assist you with what you trying to do:

Examples from the Main Site which covers Remote Execution
[click]
Also here is the code already done for you on StackOverflow [click]

A word of advice, when you execute scripts, and you have written then on Windows or opened them there, you will need to run a dos2unix on the file (if you executing on Linux); otherwise your remote execution is going to fail horribly.

Hi,i am using Jsch to run remote scripts on Unix server but whenever the script uses ssh to go to another server,its getting stuck. – Shashank Vivek Jul 30 '14 at 14:42

I think this can help you

public String execNixComAndGetRez(String user, String password, String host,
        String command) {

    int port = 22;
    String rez = "+!";

    try {
        JSch jsch = new JSch();
        Session session = jsch.getSession(user, host, port);
        session.setPassword(password);
        session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");

        // System.out.println("Establishing Connection...");
        session.connect();

        // System.out.println("Connection established.");
        Channel channel = session.openChannel("exec");
        ((ChannelExec) channel).setCommand(command); //setting command

        channel.setInputStream(null);

        ((ChannelExec) channel).setErrStream(System.err);

        InputStream in = channel.getInputStream();

        channel.connect();

            }
        }
        channel.disconnect();
        session.disconnect();
    }

    catch (Exception e) {
        rez = e.toString();
    }
    return rez;
}
