Help with Terminal Commands

Hi all,

I'm trying to execute what should be a pretty easy command, but getting an invalid path error.

I need to execute an app by passing it parameters, but it can't seem to find it.

App name is jtvlc.app which is located in Mac HD/Contents/MacOS

The example Terminal command on the wiki is the following:

jtvlc.app/Contents/MacOS/jtvlc bob3 live_gk423_cka141 file:///Users/Bob/Desktop/vlc.sdp -d

Inputting that command with the appropriate parameters always returns the following message:

-bash: jtvlc.app/Contents/MacOS/jtvlc: No such file or directory


Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong in terms of specifying the location?

Thanks!

where did you install jtvlc?

It looks like (to me) you are trying to execute an executable from within a standard Mac application bundle "jtvlc.app"

The normal location of that would be /Applications/jtvlc.app/Contents/MacOS/jtvlc

Does that help?

I got it. It was a matter of navigating via CD to the appropriate directory and adding ./ to the command. IT WORKS!!!! Thanks anyway!!!!
