public final class ExecTask
extends Task

This class defines a Directory Server task that can be used to cause the server to execute a specified command with a given set of arguments.

NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

The server imposes limitation on the commands that can be executed and on the circumstances in which they can be invoked. See the exec-command-whitelist.txt file in the server's config directory for a summary of these restrictions, and for additional information about exec tasks.

The properties that are available for use with this type of task include:

• The absolute path to the command to execute. This must be provided.
• An optional string with arguments to provide to the command.
• An optional path to a file to which the command's output should be written.
• An optional boolean flag that indicates whether to log the command's output to the server error log.
• An optional string that specifies the task state that should be used if the command completes with a nonzero exit code.
• An optional string that specifies the path to the working directory to use when executing the command.

Constructor Detail

ExecTask

public ExecTask()

Creates a new, uninitialized exec task instance that should only be used for obtaining general information about this task, including the task name, description, and supported properties. Attempts to use a task created with this constructor for any other reason will likely fail.

Creates a new exec task with the provided information.

Parameters:

commandArguments - The complete set of arguments that should be used when running the command. This may be null if no arguments should be provided.

commandOutputFile - The path to an output file that should be used to record all output that the command writes to standard output or standard error. This may be null if the command output should not be recorded in a file.

The data type of the values will vary based on the data type of the corresponding task property and may be one of the following types: Boolean, Date, Long, or String. Task properties which do not have any values will be included in the map with an empty value list.

Note that subclasses which have additional task properties should override this method and return a map which contains both the property values from this class (obtained from super.getTaskPropertyValues() and the values of their own task-specific properties.

Overrides:

getTaskPropertyValues in class Task

Returns:

A map of the task property values for this task.
