Running .sh files on OS X terminal

[fuckbiscuit]

Right, so i have a java program that a need to run on my mac... i know you can do it i'm just having a problem running it at the moment in a bash shell. So i go onto terminal and CD to the dir that i need and type " sh run.sh" into terminal to run the file and guess what? nothing but an error message... this one to be precise

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong please? I've already posted this in COM but no-one there seems to know.

Just a wild guess here - Is the .class compiled under the same JRE version you're running it in?

Make sure to use Java 6, if you aren't. That may not be the problem, though. Like I said, wild guess.

OK so I'm pretty drink right now but java class files give java runtime errors while bash runtime errors give shells errors. I'm guessing that the kinds of error that your getting has abso lutely nothing to do with your running mac or a bash shell but everything to do with java being gay. Like the the other poster, I'm going to suggest you update your java envirironment.

^^^ Yeah, Java's totally gay. Steer clear of it.

I never seen someone sh run.sh a file. Would not ./run.sh be quicker and more useful (can use on .out filez.)

That requires the file be marked as executable. I frequently just echo commands into a file and then run it, and I don't bother setting it to executable. Also, using sh opens it in a new shell invocation, so that might be useful.
