list remote system roots

ybotspawn · 2009-11-19 04:05:32

Ok, so I'm early in my search, but considering I use this distro, I figured Id post here. Alot of the Archers are good coders anyway right? Seriously I was trying to find a way to get remote system volumes using Java or (gasp) Mono, but if I have to use cpp i understand. This is for a little pet project I'm playing with but I was hoping there might be something easily google'able' but apparently there wasn't. Can anyone point me in a good direction to go with this?

thanks

What do you mean by "get remote system volumes" ? If you mean samba shares I found a few on google like JCIFS.

No I'm talking about smb independant. As in is there a way to connect, if I open a port, to connect to the remote systems kernel, via like an api call, to get information about currently mounted volumes?

You'd probably have to hook into ssh somehow I would think...

What problem are you trying to solve exactly?

I hope this is usefull:

I think I would just use the OS commands in Java. Like this (not my code!):

import java.io.*;

public class JavaRunCommand {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        String s = null;

        try {
            
        // run the Unix "ps -ef" command
            // using the Runtime exec method:
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps -ef");
            
            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);
        }
    }
}

Now instead of running "ps -ef", you could run "ssh host df -h"

You can export this info via SNMP. The "snmpdf" command that comes with net-snmp demonstrates how to retrieve the data, in C, from a remote snmpd.

Perfect, thanks, I'll give this a go. To answer the previous question, I was simply curious how I would do it. I do .net, cpp, and java development during the day and I like to be able to find similar solutions for linux, for the problems I may have solved on windows and vica versa. I just wasn't sure where to start with this one as .net does have an advantage in WMI. Make sense? Thanks everyone, I'll post some code later.
