Converting shell script to a batch file

[Svend Rost]

Hi,

I suspect, that the reason that im getting problems with a program is that
im running part of it as a shell script (in Cygwin), while the rest is run
in dos/windows, which is why I'd like to convert a shell script into a bat file.

This line of "code" get's executed as the last line in the shell script:

  
java -Dprogram.name="$PROGNAME" -classpath $BLAH_CLASSPATH edu.cmu.cs.X.Y.Z.runtime.BlahBlahCompiler $*
  

but it wont run when I type it in DOS.

Btw.

line 1:  PROGNAME=`basename $0` 
and
line 20: BLAH_CLASSPATH="$BLAH_HOME/BlahBlah.jar"
line 21: BLAH_CLASSPATH="$BLAH_CLASSPATH:$BLAH_HOME/j2ee.jar"
line 22: BLAH_CLASSPATH="$BLAH_CLASSPATH:$BLAH_HOME/jbossall-client.jar"
... 

I need to execute the BlahBlahCompiler, which is located somewhere in
the BlahBlah.jar file located in the BLAH_HOME directory (c:\BlahBlah\),
but im not quite sure how. Im furthermore not sure if I need the -classpath
stuff, or the -Dprogram.name stuff either.

When I run:
java -Dprogram.name=BLAHPROGRAM -classpath "c:\BlahBlah" edu.cmu.cs.X.Y.Z.runtime.BlahBlahCompiler
I get an java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and then the path that im trying to execute (c:\BlahBlah/edu/cmu/cs/X/Y/Z/runtime/BlahBlahCompiler)

Any help will be appriciated.

The $ signs in there are Unix specific. Windows uses % signs instead.

I do this all the time. I suspect you may be chasing a red herring.

Thanks for replying. Im not quite sure, I understand what you mean with
a red herring.

I found this description of a red herring:
Topic A is under discussion.
Topic B is introduced under the guise of being relevant to topic A (when topic B is actually not relevant to topic A).
Topic A is abandoned.

Are you saying, that my assumption (that it doesn't work 'cause
it's run in dos and unix) is false?

I believe it to be the cause of the problem, because the "unix things" have
to (a) compile a file of rules and then (b) start a program which monitors
the JMS for certain types of data(xml), and then emit some infomation back to
the JMS. AFAIK, it doesn't emit enough information back and I think it's
cause of the compile/run on unix.
