Barry,

The "> /dev/null" tells the operating system to throw away any messages that would normally appear on the terminal.

The "&" on the end means run in the background ie start running and keep running but give me the prompt back again so I can do something else.

The "nohup" on the front means leave the program running even after I logout/close the shell window.


So you really need to do just "./run.sh"

And "./run.sh" is different to "run.sh" I won't try to explain why, just take it that sometimes "./run.sh" will work when "run.sh" won't.

But you say you tried "sudo ./run.sh" and that gave you command not found. That is really weird. I'm wondering if it is run.sh it can't find, or something in the actual script it can't find.

Can you edit run.sh and add a new line "set -vx" as the second line. It will now look like:

#!/bin/sh
set -vx

Then when you try to run it, it will dump out each line of the script as it goes. Then if it is running the script and failing within the script, we will be able to see how far it gets. e.g.

fiona-malikoffs-computer:/usr/local/jboss-4.0.2/bin fiona$ sudo ./run.sh
