Which are the .bat file alternatives for Linux, MacOSX and other operating systems for starting a jar file for example or another program (.exe, .app ...) with a click on this .bat / ... file?
I just know .sh, but which operating systems support it natively?
Like the .sh file. Which files work under which OS natively without any external dependencies or libraries (like python)
Bash works on Linux, MacOSX, BSD and some other unixes usually. How you name the file doesn't really matter, but most people would call it .sh. The important part is that the first line of the file is this:
#!/bin/bash
And the file has to be executable, like with chmod +x.
Try doing this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5270083/forking-a-new-process-in-c-and-executing-a-jar-file
to run it in a c++ wrapper (should works on any platforms):
execlp("java", "java", "-jar", "myprog.jar", (char *)0);
