I need to extract the contents of the Jar in to a specific location. When I run the below command to extract jar, it works correctly.
jar -xf location/ex.jar
The same command I placed inside a script(.sh/.ksh). When I run the script, I get the below error:
jar: not found.
Both the user are same from which I run the script/command.
I am using AIX server.
jar is not found is the message you get. Meaning it can't find jar.
Do a
whereis jar
and use that full path in your script
PATHenvironment variable is not initialized the same way in your terminal and in your script. Which might be normal actually. First, ensure that you are using the same shell (typeecho $0in your terminal) and set your script header (for instance#!/bin/bash). Then, check your environment initialization files and find precise information about their loading order to be sure of what is done with yourPATHvariable. – maxime.bochon Oct 5 '15 at 12:00kshis more standard on AIX, but if it's only for launching a Java application, it does not really matter. Use thewhichcommand to get the path to the binary. For instance,which kshmay display/bin/ksh. – maxime.bochon Oct 7 '15 at 12:30
