Charles, I have been fiddling with the shell scripts in this thread on my Mac, too.Your comment finally returned me to the correct permutation of changes for my attempts. I also was able to use just ./jtest after I altered the first line of testj as shown next.
[10:44am brian~/j602-user]% cat jtest #!/Users/brian/j602/bin/jconsole stdout 'hello', LF exit'' [10:44am brian~/j602-user]% ./jtest hello I think your example requires that jconsole be given a unix link alias to jc as I think Joey demoed in the following link. (Joey, used ja, not jc, and usr/bin, not usr/local/bin .) I am reporting these details so that other Mac users may get on the right path with these unix commands, too.
