Hi, Problem with all Netware console commands. How will you use the console output from a code either in C or java? There is no way to collect the command output in a code as the output always goes to console. Any ideas? Run a commnand like "volumes" on netware console and see output on the console. Same output seen on console if the command is executed through a java code (as given at bottom). But the output does not go to the 'Process' object as given in the code. Only IOException got when trying to read the output. The code at the end does not work. Please help me on how to capture and read the netweare console output through the code. Thanks murali import java.io.*; public class RunCommand { public static void main(String args[]) { String s = null; try { // run the "version" command Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("version"); BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())); BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream())); // read the output from the command System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n"); while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(s); } // read any errors from the attempted command System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n"); while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) { System.out.println(s); } System.exit(0); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println("exception happened - here's what I know: "); e.printStackTrace(); System.exit(-1); } } }

Buddy call novell and foot the $300.00 (USD) bill and they can answer this for sure.

All you need to do is redirect if to a file and read the file. Netware6:volumes > file (look in file) You can do the same thing in DOS since ver 3 and still in CMD.exe on NT.... HTH

See, I have netware 5.1 and volumes > out.txt does not redirect to file. I even gave full path name like sys:out.txt (tried with without spaces) Does not work..

load conlog do command unload conlog read sys:\etc\console.log
