Run .bat file on remote Linux

You can ftp (or use putty etc) transfer your script to the Linux box, and then use ssh to run
the script. (you can run command with FTP client).

Yuzh, I'm new to Linux, Putty, and WinSCP...so I'm having a real hard time following you. I'll explain my situation a bit more, and hopefully you'll be able to help me.

I've managed to install the Java Runtime on my Dedicated Linux Root Server. I needed the Java JRE because I'm using a Java Chat Server. To start the Java Chat Server, there are a couple .bat files that I need to execute. When I was hosting these on a local (physical) windows2000 server, there was no problem, because all I needed to do was double-click the .bat files. But now, my server is Linux and it's remote--and I just can't, for the life of me!--seem to be able to run those .bat files.

In WinSCP I right-clicked the file, selected Custom Commands/Execute...only to get error saying: Command "run.bat" failed with return code 127 and error message -bash: line 140: run.bat: command not found.  (Btw, yes, the file has read,write,execute permissions)

In Putty, I tried with: chmod a+x run.bat run.bat....but that apparently doesn't work either, 'cause the chat server isn't running.

I've increased the points to 500, and hope very much that you'll be able to help me out here. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks, yuzh. I appreciate it very VERY much. As I don't know anything about Linux, I'll explain these paths best I can:
When I log in, I'm in the root folder. Then, when I go up a folder, that seems to be the real root--since all the other folders (and, by extent, subfolders) derive from this point forward. Hence, therein, is my home folder; henceforth these following paths leading to the .bat files I need executed.

/home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/LoveLine/Server/run.bat

/home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/Server/run.bat

I need to get some sleep now, as it's 3:30 am here; so I'll check back later. If you want to email me any scripts, my email is < # Email address removed by yuzh, Page Editor # >
Many thanks,
John

Please do a test for me:

login as root, and then try in the following command:

/home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/LoveLine/Server/run.bat <Enter>

/home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/Server/run.bat <Enter>

Please post the screen error messages, and the contains of the two run.bat files.

Couldn't sleep, 'cause had this haunting thought: Maybe those .bat files won't work on Linux. So these are the contents of the .bat files--if that means anything to you, as indicated by their respective paths provided earlier:
     * /home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/LoveLine/Server/run.bat
java -jar socket.jar 9999
     * /home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/Server/run.bat
java -jar socket.jar 8082

As you see, the only difference is the port number.

Also, I did your test, and it rendered the following results:
/home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/LoveLine/Server/run.bat: line 1: java: command not found
/home/httpd/vhosts/videopersonals.info/httpdocs/Server/run.bat: line 1: java: command not found

--going to try to get some sleep, again. Many thanks to you, yuzh.

Let's find out is you have java installed in your box first, login as root, and type in the following
command:

find / -type f -name java -print

If the about command can't locate java, you need to install java.

Do worry, someone at EE will help you out, have a nice sleep.

Since we are in different timezone, I suggest that you post a link in the Linux TA and
point to this questions, you might get better responses.

Have a nice sleep!

I get the following path  when I type in what you suggested...

/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin/java

You should open the files in a text editor and replace "java" with the full path
"/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin/java"

Again - post the output here...

please modify the two .bat files as bytta suggested, and test it again.

you might want to execute a 'whereis java' to find out the exact path of the java binary.
then you can try putting the whole path in the bat file
e.g. /usr/bin/java  -jar socket.jar 9999

>>> Make sure that "socket.jar" is for Linux NOT the Windows version!
Yuzh, isn't that the way Java works, (not platform independent) ... so i'd assume it should make a difference.

JohnLucio, are you sure that the .jar file is not actually really corrupt as it states?

Thanks
J



 

no it's not corrupt... I have this software running on a windows machine and it's working just fine.

Hi yuzh. Yours was the solution that worked. I discovered that the reason it wasn't working before was because my jar files don't work with the newest version of the Java JRE. So, after, installing an older JRE, and using your help, everything was smooth. Thank you.
