How to make a shell script run in Mac when double clicking it?

Question

I have created a shell script to run a jar file in Mac :

#!/bin/sh
java -Xmx512m -jar test.jar;

I have renamed this script "app.command" to run directly when double clicking it. And i have applied "chmod +x" command to it to have executable permissions.

Now when double clicking this script, i get "Unable to access jarfile test.jar" while when running this script through Terminal, the jar runs fine !

Anyone can help me how to make this script run when double click it in Mac ?

Answer 1

If you run from a terminal, you have a working directory set, and this may not be the case if you double-click it. Try giving the full path to the jarfile in your script.
