# Hi All, When I am trying to execute the below shell script I got this error message. script

/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/jarfiles:  
/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/800PBXMAIN.jar: com pbx main PBXMain $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7

# Error

Well I am no java developer but I don't think there should be a space between the "-" and classpath

Hi,  
Thanks for your reply, the vary first error is removed because of your suggestion, however I am still getting No such file or directory error for  
800PBXMAIN.jar file and the directory jarfiles, even though the file and the directory is present in the folder.I also changed the mode of the file and the directory to RWX.

Thanks & Regards

Hi All,  
The above classdef not found error got eliminated Since I have not put dot after com.pbx.main.PBXMain, However I am getting the below error.  
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.pbx.PBX800Sample  
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)  
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)  
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)  
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)  
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)  
at com.pbx.main.PBXMain.main(PBXMain.java:100)

Let me explain you in brief what I did actually, I have created a jar file named 800PBXMAIN.jar containing the PBXMain class which is having a main method and also the jar file is having property file in which I define the path another jar file name PBX800Sample.jar which is being called by our main program, the path set in the property file is like 800PBXMAIN(Key)=/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/jarfiles, IN the jarfiles folder I kept PBX800Sample.jar.  
My reformated code is

#!/bin/bash  
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0\_10/bin/java -classpath /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar:/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/jarfiles:/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/800PBXMAIN.jar: com.pbx.main.PBXMain $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7

Please help me get out of this issue.

Thanks & Regards
