Cant run .bat files

tukk · 08-23-2013, 12:32 PM

Hey,

Im new to linux and I was wondering if there was a easy way to convert/re-write a .bat files to .sh

I have 3 .bat files ( they are small, like 20 words)

Hi,

if I remember correctly a .bat file is some sort of MS windows script. So, the general approach would be to learn some basic bourne shell scripting. See for example http://rute.2038bug.com/node10.html.gz

If you have trouble post back explaining what you have tried and what specific problem(s) you are having and I'm sure we can help.

You have to work out what the Linux equivalent commands are,

I am a noob

, i have no idea what to do

Here is one of my Batch file.

Code:

@echo off
title Running
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx512m -cp bin;lib/* dragonkk.rs2rsps.Server
pause

that's actually really easy

fist figure out if you have java

Code:

java -version

then read its man(ual)

Code:

man java

Could someone convert this to linux for me :\

Code:

@echo off
title Running
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx512m -cp bin;lib/* dragonkk.rs2rsps.Server
pause

Hi,

that is really just a single command: running java with some arguments. Read the java man page (see Firerat's post) to understand the options that are big used.

Try with a lowercase java

tukk · 08-24-2013, 04:29 AM

It already was with a lower case (I didnt copy the 'java' part)

man java

Quote:

-classpath classpath

-cp classpath
Specify a list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to search for class files. Class
path entries are separated by colons (: ). Specifying -classpath or -cp overrides any setting of
the CLASSPATH environment variable.

Plus, that does not look like a good path, check your java environment.

What does this say?

Code:

echo $CLASSPATH

Please post the errors that you get, as we can't give any good, targeted advice without them.

Also, the semicolon is a delimiter in bash scripts, so, instead of java -classpath bin;lib/* dragonkk.rs2rsps.Server try java -classpath 'bin;./lib/*' ./dragonkk.rs2rsps.Server
where I've indicated the changes I'd suggest in red. (The single-quote (') tells bash to pass everything between then on to the command without trying to interpret the text. The dot-slash (./) is a bash idiom that means "the current working directory." (Your command should work fine without it; I just put it in so you could see where to insert an actual folder name when you want to run the command from some directory other than the one containing the bin and lib directories, and the server code.
