Unable To Run Unix Commands To Execute Processes On A Unix Server?
Jul 6, 2011
I was recently assigned to do some research on how to approach a project. Right now we have an old program written in tcl. From this tcl program ( running on VMS client computer), we are able to run unix commands to execute processes on a unix server. This is done via tcpip. Now, we are thinking of making upgrades to this system . We are wondering if this kind of thing was possible with Visual Basic. Are we able to run a VB program on windows computer to run UNIX commands on a server? If so, what issues might be brought up. If anyone has even the briefest guideline or tip on this,
Is there any possibility to develop an application using Visual Basic that connects to a unix server (using SSH) and run some commands? I will try to describe what i need : The user should enter the server adress, username and password!Than the user must enter some "filenames" and after pressing a button the application will run a command (e.g more "filename") and generates an output file with the result of his command!
I have to convert a data (not the current date) to GMT and represent it as a Unix Epoch.This is what I'm trying - it returns something that looks correct - but I'd like to know if anyone with more experience knows if I am doing this correctly.
Friend Function GetEpoch(ByVal dDate DateInteger Return (dDate.ToFileTimeUtc DateTime(1970,10000000
For the application im writing i need to access files on a network server. I have tried different ways, but none of them seem to work.When i try using impersonation i keep getting logon failure (1326). I did try few solutions i found on the net but none seem to work.
We have an Oracle 11g R2(UNIX) server. A directory was created on this UNIX box for the purpose of uploading/downloading CSV files.I need to access this directory, programmatically from VB.Net in order to search for a specific file (a log file more precisely) and then open it it programmatically in Notepad from my Vb.Net application. I should also be able to delete or copy it to my local drive.I am trying to find a VB.Net code sample that would allow me to implement this: Read/Write/Open files on an UNIX directory.
I need to make some system calls in my C# applications.Unfortunately, this behaves differently on Linux than on UNIX.Now I used to switch the Operating system at runtime like this
If Environment.OSVersion.Platform = System.PlatformID.Unix Then ' Linux/Unix ' ElseIf Environment.OSVersion.Platform = System.PlatformID.MacOSX Then
I want to connect to a UNIX file path over our network and grab some .log files. Is this possible? If some do I need to do anything more than what I would do if I was opening files from a local path?
I need to be able to kick off a vb.net program on a windows server from a unix shell script on an AIX server. What what I need to do to make this possible? I'm a newbie on the .Net side, but I was thinking, maybe make the vb.net program some sort of web service then have the unix shell script invoke that somehow
I wanted to connect to unix and call a shell script program from dot net application (windows application).do i need to use MS Winsock control to connect to unix or is there any other best option?
I have recently started programming in vb.net (or trying to) I have made a application that gets some info from a mssql server. I can get the information perfectly, but one of the items called "date" i get in to my program is a date field in UNIX time. Is there a easy way to convert that into GMT time?[ code]
I'm working on a program that's an update from Microsoft Basic on unix to VB .net 2008 on the PC.The files that are on the Unix are Microsoft Binary files.How do I read a binary file and then input the data into a SQL table?
currently i am working on a project to help our customers troubleshoot our products, our products have the availabilty to be access via telnet, i can use the top command to show
top provides an view of processor activity in real time. This utility reads the status for all processes in /proc each <seconds> and shows the status for however many processes will fit on the screen. This utility will not show processes that are started after program startup, but it will show the EXIT status for and PIDs that exit while it is running.
I am looking to but this into my project in real time and show a graph do you think this can be achived ?
I have a program built on VB.NET and C# . It calls Win32 API and another APIs we made and others (WodSSH and DevExpress).Now we plan to extend our tool to run on Linux and UNIX GUI for UNIX end-users. We have doubts whether to try to import the program somehow (I heard about Mono and Wine) or build it from scratch in Java.
Whenever I pick any from Directory 1, Directory 2, or Directory 3, I will display all sub-directories of that chosen Directory onto ComboBox #2. If I choose Directory 1, I will populate ComboBox #2 with all the subdirectories of Directory 1, and so on.

I hoped that I did explain that properly. Let me know if I need to clarify something up. Oh and let me stress it again, I'm trying to get the directory structure from a UNIX-based system and I'm trying to display it in VB (windows-based).
I need to parse a Unix text file so, I am using System.Net.WebClient to ftp into a Unix server then using the .DownloadFile() method to get the text file, but its coming in with the Unix end line ""; so is there a way to convert that to windows format while doing the DownloadFile method? I do re-read it after and fix it, I am just looking for a better way.
Or is there an alternate such as instead of a DownloadFile, and the two other steps above can I just read it into an array right off the Unix server?? If so then what method would I use?
What the Win32 API is? I have looked around but no where really outlines what it is. Is it basically a set of procedures, outlined by Microsoft for programmers in order to get services from the operating system? In essence is it the equivalent to making system calls abd and library calls in UNIX? And yes I now Windows makes library calls too.
I have this string just down loaded of a Unix server. I would like to remove the box (0x0A) Unix end line code; then replace it with CR+LF normal ASCII code. Also, I would like to do the replace before I save the data, while it in memory.
catch statements - it works well just checking my disk drive for a file, if an error is thrown then I open the disk tray and ask them to put the disk in, click OK on the message box and it performs another check for the file, if this fails the button that starts all this is disabled on my main form (the code is shown below).
Okay, so my problem is I'd like to have the message box pop up and the have the drive open up (using an API which I have) either at the same time or in the order of: message box then drive open. I can see two ways to do this: Have the commands happen at the same time (Can you even do this?) OR Have the message box appear and then open the disk drive (but how I could achieve this I don't know as the message box waits for the user to click OK... I originally though of starting a timer just before and getting it to open the disk drive tray in the tick event,
Code:
Public Class Form1 'open cd-rom tray API Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal _
My aim is to create a child processes which will execute in parallel the piece of VB.NET code say a function. I want to do it specifically using processes and not threads. Please suggest the ways to do this?
