Execute program on server side

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all.

How can I execute a .sh/.bat file on the server side and capture the output in smarclient?
Do I need to do it throw headless client?

Best regards. Roberto Blasco.

Good example of executing externals:

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=14310#p75729

I would think combining this with a headless client call would do the trick.

Hi david.

Thanks for your answer. I’m gonna study the example you say :-)

if you really just want to execute a batch/shell file on the server and don’t touch any servoy specific solution things.
Then i guess a simple client/server java plugin could do that just as fast for you. That has way less overhead.

Hi Johan.

I’ve already done some plugins for servoy to my solutions.

If I am not mistaken, Java plugins in Servoy Client are client Side executed.
How can I do to make the Java plugins executed in the server side?

Best regards. Roberto Blasco.

make a serverside plugin…
Look for example to the FilePlugin that also has a server part.

Thanks Johan :-)

btw: our UserManager plugin can already do just that… The output of the command is returned to the client executing the command.

Hi Patrick

Which version do I need, standard or pro?

Standard.

Hi Patrick

I love this plugin :-)

Only one thing … the posibility to take the stderr output without using a bashscript file.

Best regards. Roberto Blasco.

What exactly would you need there? A log file?
