running java from commandline and passing parameters

[pythonbegin]

Hi all

I have a program that is written in java and have three different executables program.sh, program.bat, program.jar.

i can starts the gui by using program.jar and then in gui i can enter parameters. but as i want to run it over several parameters and get the outputs.

i am just wondering i I can use program.bat on windows command line or program.sh on unix so that i can pass parameters on command line and run it.

I tried ./program.sh but it gave an error permission denied

They have given a command how to run program using jar from linux

#!/bin/sh
#
# Run program from a jar file
# this is a linux-only version
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

java -Xmx1024M -cp program.jar islab.bayesian.genenetwork.generation.NetworkGeneratorCLI $*

after this command output is - Usage: NetworkGeneratorCLI <ini-file>

Can anyone please guide me, how can i pass parameters on command line instead of using GUI.

Thanks

Works only if MANIFEST has required mainClass entries. Can't assume all jars have it.

I don't really understand what's the problem here. They've given you the command, which seems to be simple enough. Just run it!

Call the script like this: xyz_script.sh C:\init_file.ini

Yes, true, but OP did say he can start the jar, so manifest is obviously OK in this case.
