My read of the question is that Manoj is he wants to call a shell script from within marklogic, not call marklogic from within a shell script.
My solution to this is to setup a CGI service on a local web server (same box as the ML server). This is a similar concept to how the SQL and Java integration works in MarkLogic. In my case I needed to run some java and script code to produce a PDF given marklogic data. I setup a Tomcat installation, and used the xmlsh J2EE module. http://www.xmlsh.org/EmbeddingServlet This exposes xmlsh scripts as URL's. Then the MarkLogic does an HTTP Post to invoke the script, pass it data, the output of the script is a PDF file. The same concept could be done with sh/bash/ksh etc but you'd have to write your own servlet. The xmlsh servlet invokes xmlsh which is about 80% directly compatible with sh syntax, but also can call any subprocess as a command so you could leverage it to call a bash script if you want (or discover that the bash script runs 'as is' in xmlsh). ---------------------------------------- David A.

The URI of the HTTP request should specify a main module that uses xdmp:get-request-field() to extract text parameters from the HTTP request. I believe the cqsh utility also allows xquery to be evaluated from a shell script.

I want to know is there a provision in Marklogic, using which we can invoke the shell script? Thanks & Regards Manoj
