[SOLVED] How to execute jar from OS Process Sampler in Linux

Issue

How to execute a jar from OS Process Sampler in Linux? I have the following sampler which is working fine in Windows. How to execute this OS Process Sampler in Linux?

Solution

Linux equivalent would be something like:

• Command: /bin/bash (or other Unix Shell which may be different)
• Working directory: like on Windows specify the working folder for the command

• Command parameters:

  • -c - according to bash user manual

    -c string

    If the -c option is present, then commands are read from string. If there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to the positional parameters, starting with $0.

  • your actual command. If the command includes spaces or any other special characters which need escaping - either escape them using \ sign or surround the command with double quotation marks

    ""java -jar myjar.jar param1 param2""
    

Remember that in Linux file names are case sensitive so change Java to java as from Linux point of view these 2 are totally different beasts.
