NonStop Server for Java 4.2 Programmer's Reference

Describes how to run the OSS shell using the osh command.

Creating Files

Describes how to create new files in the OSS environment using the vi text editor.

Note that you can avoid using the vi text editor by creating the files in another environment and

using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the ftp command, or another utility to put the files in the

OSS file system. The HelloWorld sample, shown later in this section, uses this method.

The following sections are a tutorial that introduces many of the frequently used OSS user commands

and utilities to perform the particular tasks:

Creating files

●

Managing files●

Managing directories●

Managing access to files and directories●

Managing processes●

UNIX Tutorials

Public sources of informationsuch as, classes and tutorialson using UNIX systems through the Korn

shell are highly applicable to using the OSS environment. You might find these sources a good first step

in learning about the file system, commands, and utilities characteristic of the OSS environment.

Verifying the Java Installation

Ask your system administrator where the NonStop Server for Java Server 4 software is installed.

Knowing that, you can verify the installation and verify your environment. This example assumes that

NonStop Server for Java 4 is installed in a nonstandard locationthe directory:

Note: If your NonStop Server for Java 1.4.2 software is installed in the standard location

(/usr/tandem), or if you are using NonStop Server for Java 1.4.2 version T2766H10^ABV or

later, skip Step 4 and Step 5 and specify the location values accordingly.

/home/lee/jdk142

1. Set the PATH environment variable by using the following command at the OSS prompt:

$export PATH=/home/lee/jdk142/java/bin:$PATH

2. Confirm that the path is set correctly by typing the whence command:

$whence java

/home/lee/jdk142/java/bin/java

3. Determine the version of the Java virtual machine (JVM) by typing the vproc command, which
