shell script niggle

[Abhinav Srivastava]

Trying to execute Java from a shell script, any clues?

$/app/java_1.6.0_10/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)

$pwd
/app/java_1.6.0_10/bin
$ls -ltr java
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 50714 Jan 26  2012 java

$cat runjava.sh

JAVA_HOME=/app/java_1.6.0_10
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java someClass

$./runjava.sh
/bin/java: not found: /app/java_1.6.0_10

I don't know whether

JAVA_HOME=/app/java_1.6.0_10

will set JAVA_HOME env variable.

Perhaps you'll need to use 'export' syntax.

Worked with explicitly set PATH

JAVA_HOME=/app/java_1.6.0_10   
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
java someClass
