scheduling java program in unix evironment

[Karthikean Konangi]

Hi,

I had written a Java class with main method. now i need to schedule this program daily basis. for that , I guess i need a shell script. But i donot know how to write it and configure it.

Please help me.

The script could be as simple as:

#!/bin/sh
CLASSPATH=/path/to/my/first/library.jar;/path/to/my/second/library.jar
java -classpath $CLASSPATH mypackage.MyClass myParameter1 myParameter2

You may need to provide the complete path to the java executable, something like /usr/bin/java.

For scheduling to run it periodically you'd need the cron utility. Type man cron on the command line, or google for an introduction about it.
