Is there a way to run a Linux shell script from a java program if they are on different machines? I'm trying to write a Java program that will run on a Windows machine, connect to a Linux machine, and run a Linux shell script. Is that possible? Can anyone provide an example of how you would write such a program? I wrote a program that supposedly connects to the Linux machine from my Windows, but it does not run the shell script. Can anyone see what is wrong? I get all the messages indicating that it ran but the output from hello.sh is not being generated. Thanks in advance. import java.io.*; import java.net.*; class Client { public static void main(String[] arg) { Socket s = null; // set up socket BufferedReader is = null; // input stream PrintWriter os=null; // output stream try { System.out.println( "Settting up Socket" ); s = new Socket("10.1.1.200",23,true); System.out.println( "Setting up Input Stream" ); is = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( s.getInputStream())); System.out.println( "Setting up Output Stream" ); os = new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream(), true); } catch(UnknownHostException uhe ) { System.out.println( "I don't know the host" ); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } BufferedReader stdIn=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String userInput; if( s != null && is != null && os != null ) { try { System.out.println( "Sending command" ); String command = ("/home/hello.sh"); os.println(command); System.out.println( "Closing Output Stream" ); os.close(); System.out.println( "Closing Input Stream" ); is.close(); } catch(UnknownHostException uhe ) { System.out.println( "I don't know the host" ); } catch(IOException ie) { System.out.println(ie); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } } // end if } // end main } // end Client
