Equivalent of bat in mac os

Question

I currently use a  bat file that is utilized to invoke a java file  If I wanted to utilize the same functionality on Mac OS what format changes would I make   unless the  bat equivalent on Mac OS is the  sh format    java -cp       supportlibraries Framework Core jar   supportlibraries Framework DataTable jar   supportlibraries Framework Reporting jar   supportlibraries Framework Utilities jar   supportlibraries poi-3 8-20120326 jar D  downloads Selenium 2 0 selenium-server-standalone-2 19 0 jar  allocator testTrack   Any assistance would be appreciated

The common convention would be to put it in a .sh file that looks like this -

#!/bin/bash
java -cp  ".;./supportlibraries/Framework_Core.jar;... etc

Note that '\' become '/'.

You could execute as

sh myfile.sh

or set the x bit on the file

chmod +x myfile.sh

and then just call

myfile.sh

May be you can find answer here  Equivalent of double-clickable  sh and  bat on Mac   Usually you can create bash script for Mac OS  where you put similar commands as in batch file  For your case create bash file and put same command  but change back-slashes with regular ones   Your file will look something like       bin bash java -cp       supportlibraries Framework Core jar   supportlibraries Framework DataTable jar   supportlibraries Framework Reporting jar   supportlibraries Framework Utilities jar   supportlibraries poi-3 8-20120326 jar PATH TO YOUR SELENIUM SERVER FOLDER selenium-server-standalone-2 19 0 jar  allocator testTrack   Change folders in path above to relevant one   Then make this script executable  open terminal and navigate to folder with your script  Then change read-write-execute rights for this file running command   chmod 755 scriptname sh   Then you can run it like any other regular script        scriptname sh  or you can run it passing file to bash   bash scriptname sh

I found some useful information in a forum page  quoted below  From this  mainly the sentences in bold formatting  my answer is    Make a bash  shell  script version of your  bat file  like other answers  with   changed to   in file paths   For example     File  example command      bin bash java -cp       supportlibraries Framework Core jar     etc   Then rename it to have the Mac OS file extension  command  That should make the script run using the Terminal app  If the app user is going to use a bash script version of the file on Linux or run it from the command line  they need to add executable rights  change mode bits  using this command  in the folder that has the file   chmod  rx  filename  sh  or   chmod  rx  filename  command    The forum page question      Good day        I wondering if there are some  simple  rules to write an equivalent   of the Windows  DOS  bat file  I would like just to click on a file and let it run    Info from some answers after the question      Write a shell script  and give it the extension   command     For example      bin bash  printf  Hello World n      - Mar 23  2010  Tony T1      The DOS  BAT file was an attempt to bring to MS-DOS something like the idea of the UNIX script    In general  UNIX permits you to make a text file with commands in it and run it by simply flagging   the text file as executable  rather than give it a specific suffix   This is how OS X does it       However  OS X adds the feature that if you give the file the suffix  command  Finder   will run Terminal app to execute it  similar to how BAT files work in Windows         Unlike MS-DOS  however  UNIX  and OS X  permits you to specify what interpreter is used   for the script  An interpreter is a program that reads in text from a file and does something   with it        In UNIX  you can specify which interpreter to use by making the first line in the   text file one that begins with      followed by the path to the interpreter  For example           bin sh echo Hello World    - Mar 23  2010  J D McIninch   Also  info from an accepted answer for Equivalent of double-clickable  sh and  bat on Mac       On mac  there is a specific extension for executing shell   scripts by double clicking them  this is  command
