Does anybody know how to use the command line under OSX?

ex: sudo jedit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

OSX Panther
Java 1.4.1
jEdit 4.2pre8

thanks very much

Finally! I found what I was looking for with this topic,

I downloaded the last version but the 'java install' one this time. During instalation it prompts where to install a 'SHORTCUT'. This shortcut is actually a shell file:

----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Java heap size, in megabytes
JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home"
if [ "$JAVA_HOME" = "" ]; then
JAVA_HOME="$DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME"
fi
exec "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar "/Applications/jedit.jar" $@
------------------------------------------------------------

so then we can do $jedit file.txt
(cannot make it work doing $sudo jedit file.txt though

I don't think we get this jedit shell file/shortcut with the OSX instalation pakage.

Anyways, I'm very glad to see you guys talking about this topics under OSX, thanks a lot

CLI under OS X

Well, jedit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf would work, but since you need to put sudo in front of it, it causes problems. There is a way to run/launch jEdit as root, but I can't find my notes on it right now... I'll keep digging.

Thanks for your reply Raster,

I cannot even do jedit /etc/... I must be missing something here!
is jedit a bash command? or perl?... or is 'jedit' just the 'jedit.jar'?? so I would just have to adjust my classpath?

raster, please, where's your jedit command? /usr/bin? or in jEdit base directory?
i can't find it! sorry and thanks again

Like me, you've probably installed jEdit in your /Applications tree to make it accessible from the finder. Thus it's probably not in your shell's path. Instead, use "open" with the "-a" switch to run from the commandline.

% open -a jEdit ~/.emacs
% sudo open -a jEdit /etc/passwd

Unfortunately this probably won't work if you've taken the recent Java 1.4.2 update... it seems to have made jEdit unable to open a file from the commandline or via drag-and-drop. Hopefully this issue can be resolved soon... (I'm going to go investigate submitting a bug to the database, since I don't see an open issue yet.)

Hope this helps,

Java 1.4.2 Update messes up with jEdit

by pcesar on Thu, 05/02/2004 - 20:12

Yes, Lax, I know what you are talking about since I am also into that Java 1.4.2 wagon.
After this last jvm update, jEdit not only is unable to open a file from the command line (and drag-and-drop too) but is also displaying a terribly annoying message during every startup:
"Mac OS Plugin requires a newer version of Java (MRJ 3.2)."
Yet, jEdit opens and works with no further problems.
Does anyone have a workaround for that?

Thanks,
Paulo
