Executing a remote shell file from windows

Well... its something really simple but couldn't find the proper way to do. All I wanted to do is
  1. Running a batch script which will compile my codes and encapsulate in a zip file.
  2. Copy the zip file to a remote linux server.
  3. At the linux box, I need to deploy my application by unzipping the archieve
  4. And finally running other commands to manage something more.
Problem was I was not sure about how to initiate a command in my linux box from windows batch script.

Finally found plink with the help of Mr.Yann Ramin in stackOverFlow. 
scp -p -pw password code-archieve.zip user@remote.host.com:/opt/code
plink -pw password user@remote.host.com cd /home/user/Documents;./doTheJob.sh


Here the plink is actually 
  • logging in to the remote server
  • Changing directory to where the script file resides [cd /home/user/Documents]
  • running the shell script [./doTheJob.sh]
Note that how we are concatenating multiple shell commands in a single line by separating with semicolon.


Hope it helped you in your critical time. Share your thoughts on this.

    Did you consider using PowerShell? I have seen it this way:

    Use PowerShell for all your windows stuff
    Let it execute a unix shell script on the unix box

Ajax form submission with tiny MCE editor

Hi, I was working with a Ajax form submission where the form contains a tinyMCE wrapped textarea. I was using prototype library for Ajax. Problem is when I called Form.serialize('form_id') , it couldn't retrieve the value of the textarea as it is wrapped by tinyMCE. At last I got a solution by just calling a tinyMCE method before the Ajax operation. Here is the stepwise detail: 1. My tiny MCE declaration was very simple like: <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript"> tinyMCE.init({ theme:"simple", mode:"exact", elements:"desc" }); </script> 2. Following is my HTML form: <form onsubmit="return processForm()" name="submitForm" id="submitForm" method="post" action="request.php"> <label for="name">Name: </label><br /> <input type="text" name="name" i...

Bada tutorial: Application basics

Image
Now as we know how to create a project and already met the containers , we can start writing our application right away. And for this we will need to have a little concept about some basics of starting up an application. So today's post is on some elementary stuffs. May seem little bit boring but yet required!!  I will not repeat the words already said in bada API doc. I put the links of API doc with each description. Please read the doc and find some additional concerns in this post. First lets look at the following state diagram of an application.  Fig: Application life cycle. Collected from bada API doc. You probably already have seen this earlier. To start with an application we need to know exactly how to handle all the methods indicated in the diagram. Lets start with the first one... OnAppInitializing: At the time of launching your application the system will call OnAppInitializing method to initialize it. Take a look at the bada API doc for this...
