Simple Java Question...

by Stephen Daukas

Hey guys! I have a really short Java question for you... How does one make a system call from Java? I want to be able to run a Linux command as I would in C, e.g., System("command"); The idea behind this is that I'm writing an example Java program to install an application, for example Postfix, that I may want to use as an example for Students... Later! Steve

Java Question...

by Daukas, Stephen C

Hey guys! I have a really short Java question for you... How does one make a system call from Java? I want to be able to run a Linux command, e.g., System("command"); in C. The idea behind this is that I'm writing an example Java program to install an application, for example Postfix, that I may want to use as an example for Students... Later! Steve

I can't help with the modem issue, other then to say make sure your flow control settings match. As for a distro, I'd recomend Debian. Use testing, stable is antique.

SPARC and modems...

by William Smith

I have a SPARCstation 10 with RH 6.2 loaded. I am trying to get it configured as an Internet gateway, but the big hurdle I am trying to jump over right now is the modem communication. I have checked the PROM settings and they match what I am using minicom with: 57600-8N1. (I am trying to use minicom to debug serial connection with the modem.) When I send commands to the modem, I see the modem is getting information, but it doesn't look like the modem is responding. I don't see an OK reply, much less any other sign of life... The modem in question is a Zoom 56k (it is the one I usually use to connect to the 'Net with, and it has worked with Linux and my ISP flawlessly in the recent past). Once I get past this, then I can look at making sure PPP works (which I anticipate to be a relatively minor ordeal, since I have a pretty good idea what to do), and then firewall stuff. While I think of it, would anyone know of any distributions with more-recent SPARC support? I'd like to see 2.4.x kernels with iptable support, as well as more up-to-date tools, but seeing as this beastie is on the "slow" side, recompiling everything myself would be tantamount to torture.... 8( Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
