I am running bash on centos6.8
When I run "which command" most of the files in this custom bin
directory show up.
When I run "which file.jar" it cannot see it, but I can *ls* the file
(soft link)
as which only works on executables (according to man page), I created
a dan.jar empty file and did a which on dan.tar and found it.
can anyone explain what is happening and how I can soft link the jar
files to my bin directory so which can see them?
`which` will only show files that have chmod +x set and are in the path.
jar files aren't directly executable by the shell, you have to run java
-jar name.jar to execute them, so there's no point in having them in the
path or +x.
