Help writing a 'script' to open a java application in dash home

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I apologize in advance if I am posting on the wrong forum, or if what I am trying to accomplish is impractical. I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I found a nice little program which takes a .pdf file and opens it, and crops the .pdf to size. This is called briss-0.9. I can run the application by executing following command in terminal: java -jar briss-0.9.jar or java -jar briss-0.9.jar cropthis.pdf. For the moment I have this file in my downloads folder.

Launch package with Java 7 1 year 22 weeks ago

I am a newbie to linux. I am trying for a command which displays pid, java class. I tried

ps -C java -o pid
