Directory listing in IBM 4690 CBASIC - directory

I'm looking for the correct ADX call to perform a directory listing of a Controller drive. From the IBM programming guide, I see ADX_TDIR, which is for terminals, is there a variant for controller program?

You can simply make use of quote command dir -s using adxstart function and save it to an output file.

Penthao Kettle Download File from URL

I want to download a File from a URL. (ex. http://www.webadress.com/service/servicedata?ID=xxxxxx)
I found the HTTP Step for Job executables but I am forced to define a Target file name instead of just accepting the filename the Webdownload offers. (ex. ServiceData20200101.PDF)
Other Problem is that it creates a File even when the Webcall actually wouldn't supply a File.
Is the REST Client or HTTP client Step in Transformations able to download a file over a URL call that accepts the File as is?
The HTTP steps in Pentaho are somewhat limited. In similar use cases in the past I've done this by using an external shell script with arguments that then calls wget or curl and saves the result. Then Pentaho picks up the file in the temp dir and processes it from there.
The Shell job step allows you to specify a script file and pass fields from the stream as arguments.
Note that if you paste shell commands directly into the step on the second tab, they will execute in the embedded shell with older versions of curl and wget. You will also be missing environment config and certificates/keys.

Copying a file to sharepoint through SAS unix

As a part of my work I need to create few reports in SAS and export them to sharepoint site. I am trying to automate this process as shown below.
call system ("cp -p file.xls https//sharepointsite/folder1/file.xls");
when i run this code, it is not giving any error in the code but the file not uploaded into sharepoint.
Could anyone suggest me the solution for this case.
Try the following in order to extract any errors into your log
data _null_;
infile "cp -p file.xls https//sharepointsite/folder1/file.xls" pipe;
input;
list;
run;
You can also try running the command directly from your SAS server, as a shell command. If that is successful, the above should be succesful (although I wasn't aware that uploading files to sharepoint was that straightforward).
Edit: from reading around, I think it IS possible, you just need to have your sharepoint location mapped to a local directory, and to have contributor rights on the site itself. In which case make sure you use the 'local' path for the URL..

mkfifo command failing on clearcase vobs

I am trying to create named pipe in a directory which is created under clearcase's vobs tree (/vobs/something/something) but not checked-in. I am getting this error:
"mkfifo: No such device or address"
I am not able to understand why pipe creation is failing while other files are getting created.
I am using Solaris 10. Is there any way I can create named pipes in vobs?
/vobs/something/something means MVFS path with a view set (as in cleartool setview).
First, try the same operation with the fumm path instead of trying to set a view. As I explain in "Python and ClearCase setview", setting a view creates a sub-shell, with all kinds of side effect for your processes (in term of environment variables and other non-heirted attributes).
So try it in /views/MyView/vobs/something/something.
Second, regarding pipe, check if this thread applies to your case:
Just off the top of my head if you using a pipe and not a file, then it should be specified something like this ..
destination my_pipe pipe("/data/pipes/net_pipe");
rather than
destination my_file file("/data/pipes/net_pipe");
Note that, for ClearCase up to 7.0.x:
ClearCase does not support adding to source control special files such as named pipes, fifos or device files. There are no type mangers available to manage these special files.
Note: Attempts to execute these files in the MVFS is not supported.
WORKAROUNDS:
Keep multiple versions of directories with device files outside of a VOB and versioned directories/symlinks in a VOB to point to correct directory location outside the VOB.
Keep a tar or zip archive of the tree with device files in the VOB, and extract it to a temporary workspace when needed in the development process.

Auto triggering a UNIX shell script

I have a main script in a folder called main.ksh (in /home/pkawar/folder), and its input input file inputfile.xls (in /home/pkawar/folder/ipfile).
When I run main.ksh, it uses inputfile.xls and deliver the output to a mail address.
The inputfile.xls is loaded to path /home/pkawar/folder/ipfile via ftp commands.
Is it possible to run main.ksh automatically and output will be sent via mail when the file inputfile.xls is loaded successfully?
The first option would be to use cron, but from your question it doesn't seem that you want to go that path.
My question would be, what is creating the *.xml file? Is it possible that whatever is creating that file to know when its finished and then calling the shell script, or better yet, have the xml file streamed to the shell script on the fly?
The first thing you should do is write a script that does whatever it is you want done. If your script performs correctly, you can use cron via a crontab file to have the script executed on whatever schedule you desire.
See man crontab for details.

Unix invoke script when file is moved

I have tons of files dumped into a few different folders. I've tried organizing them several times, unfortunatly, there is no organization structure that consistently makes sense for all of them.
I finally decided to write myself an application that I can add tags to files with, then the organization can be custom to the actual organizational structure.
I want to prevent from getting orphaned data. If I move/rename a file, my tag application should be told about it so it can update the name in the database. I don't want it tagging files that no longer exist, and having to readd tags for files that used to exist.
Is there a way I can write a callback that will hook into the mv command so that if I rename or move my files, they will invoke the script, which will notify my app, which can update its database?
My app is written in Ruby, but I am willing to play with C if necessary.
If you use Linux you can use inotify (manpage) to monitor directories for file events. It seems there is a ruby interface for inotify.
From the Wikipedia:
Some of the events that can be monitored for are:
IN_ACCESS - read of the file
IN_MODIFY - last modification
IN_ATTRIB - attributes of file change
IN_OPEN and IN_CLOSE - open or close of file
IN_MOVED_FROM and IN_MOVED_TO - when the file is moved or renamed
IN_DELETE - a file/directory deleted
IN_CREATE - a file in a watched directory is created
IN_DELETE_SELF - file monitored is deleted
This does not work for Windows (and I think also not for other Unices besides Linux) as inotify does not exist there.
Can you control the path of your users? Place a script or exe and have the path point to it before the standard mv command. Have this script do what you require and then call the standard mv to perform the move.
Alternately an alias in each users profile. Have the alias call your replacement mv command.
Or rename the existing mv command and place a replacement in the same dir, call it mv and have it call your newly renamed mv command after doing what you want.
