Can't execute java program on Raspberry Pi on startup - java

I use a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with Raspbian Jessie.
I have a java program that I want to compile and run on start-up. I figured I need to launch it through /etc/rc.local. I have a command to compile the java-files and one command to run them.
sudo javac -cp
/home/pi/Desktop/MultiSensor_v2.0_Java/opencv-3.2.0-java/build/bin/.jar
/home/pi/Desktop/MultiSensor_v2.0_Java/.java
sudo java
-Djava.library.path="/home/pi/Desktop/MultiSensor_v2.0_Java/opencv-3.2.0-java/build/lib"
-cp "/home/pi/Desktop/MultiSensor_v2.0_Java/opencv-3.2.0-java/build/bin/opencv-320.jar:/home/pi/Desktop/MultiSensor_v2.0_Java/"
Main &
When I run these commands from the terminal it works perfectly. I tried to put these commands in the /etc/rc.local file before exit 0. On reboot, the compilation works but the actual program never executes. How do I get my java program to run upon startup using the two commands above?

I had this problem, too. I solved it with the following workaround:
I created a shell-script that runs the java programm. Then I called the shell-script on startup.

I managed to solve it by doing a bash-script as #ILikeCOding said, but I had to change the location from were it was called.
I moved the bash-script to the root directory and edited the autostart script located in:
/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
In that file, I added a line to launch my script. I think this works because the autostart-script launches when you log into your user and not on boot, therefore the program can launch properly. Not sure if that's the case, but it works so I'm happy.

DTEXEC doesn't trigger dtsx package in a power shell when triggered from java but works from command prompt on local machine

I'm calling a dtsx file in PowerShell(test.ps1) using below:
& $dtexec /f "$dtsx"
This works fine when I run the test.ps1 from command prompt in local machine but the same doesn't even trigger when test.ps1 is triggered from a java application.
please help.
I'd check if any other Powershell runs for You when started from Java, and only this particular one fails.
At some point I had similar problem. It turned out, that I was using Powershell module that required to 64bit powershell instance while I was running 32bit java process. This in turn was spawning 32bit Powershell process (You can check that with [Environment]::Is64BitProcess) that could not run what I was asking it to run.

Booting Java Application On Startup - Raspberry Pi - Raspbian - Shell Script

I've been attempting to boot a java application via a shell script on a Raspberry Pi 2 startup for a while now with absolutely no success. I've been through countless threads and tutorials with no joy.
I'm running a java application via a shell script.
rc.local
I've tried putting a reference to the shell script in the etc/rc.local file.
I've had the application in the usr/local directory and i've also tried moving it to the home/pi folder. All permissions are set to full on every file.
su - pi -c "bash /home/pi/logon.sh &"
Has no effect on boot, the shell script runs fine when you run it from the terminal.
Chrontab
I've edited the chrontab file. I've tried multiple variants on the end of this file, again nothing worked on boot.
etc/init.d
I've also placed the shell script in this folder and ran the command: sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/logon.sh defaults. There are no complaints, it seems to work, shell script works when executed manually, however nothing starts up on boot.
I'm assuming that either Java isn't initiated at the point of boot or the shell script attempts to run before Raspbian boots into its interface since non of the above methods work. I don't mind losing the Raspbian interface if neccessary, in fact this would be preferable. I simply want a java application to start up when the Raspberry Pi boots. Any ideas?
Thanks
i've done it with this wrapper : https://stackoverflow.com/a/21283530/5066919
and you'll see that he use the "nohup" (no hang up) command, like this the app don't close when the user log out
Also becarefull if you use "scanner.hasNext()" command : https://stackoverflow.com/a/33456615/5066919

Java JAR file does not execute in startup script in Ubuntu 14.04

The following process normally works for my startup scripts. However, when I introduce a command to execute a JAR file, it does not work. This script works while I am logged in. However, it does not work as a startup script.
In /etc/init.d I create a bash script (test.sh) with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash
pw=$(curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
pwh=$(/usr/bin/java -jar PWH.jar $pw &)
echo $pwh > test.txt
Make script executable
In /etc/rc.local, I add the following line:
sh /etc/init.d/test.sh
Notes:
I make a reference to the script in /etc/rc.local, because this script needs to run last after all services have started.
Please do not ask me to change the process (i.e., create script in /etc/init.d/ and reference it from /etc/rc.local), because it works for my other startup scripts.
I have tried adding nohup in front of java command, and it still did not work.
Thanks
As written, there is insufficient information to say what is going wrong. There are too many possibilities to enumerate.
Try running those commands one at a time in an interactive shell. The java command is probably writing something to standard error, and that will give you some clues.

How do you run a Java UI application as a Group Custom User Inteface for windows (Possibly using Group Policies)?

I've tried setting the Custom User Interface GPO option to
java -jar GyroUI.jar
as well as using the full path
C:\Program Files\jre7\bin\java.exe -jar GyroUI.jar
But neither seem to result in anything except the desktop background.
I know this works normally as I can run the jar file just fine using the command prompt, and I get the UI as expected.
C:\Program Files\jre7\bin\java.exe -jar "C:\Program Files\Sahara\GyroUI.jar"
Ended up being the solution, the problem was being caused by the application crashing, not by the shell failing to launch.

Error with crontab running a jar file

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with open jdk and crontab. I made a neat little Java application that does some cool stuff and exported it as a runnable jar file. I can run it from the command line just fine, but I needed something that would run the file once every day. So I wrote in a cron job to run a shell script that would actually invoke the jar file. The shell script works fine when run on its own and it looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/java -jar /root/proj/CoolStuff.jar
Works perfectly. So I added this to the crontab:
23 14 * * * /root/proj/runScript.sh > /root/proj/log.txt 2>&1
This does not run perfectly. In fact, it doesn't run. log.txt will come out saying "Error". Pretty nondescript, right? I've checked my environment variables, nothing fancy there. Is there anything else I might be missing? Any ideas as to where to go from here? Is there any way I can run this script everyday with ease?
Check the execution permission on that file.
The cron is running with different permissions, not the one you got when logged in.
Also you try to access /root.
Try to relocate your script to another "non-root" directory.
See what the environment for you crontab looks like by commenting out your current /usr/bin/java .. and insert set on a line by its own.
Now from you command line do set > tmpEnvVarList.txt and compare with what you see in log.txt.
It's almost certainly that your .profile or .bash_rc (or other) is setting env vars that are not available to you crontab. You'll need to add . .profile etc to you script.
cbO's ideas are good too.
I hope this helps.
