hi im trying to get Azurues to run and this is the output i get when i try doing so.

[jeff@localhost jeff]$ bittorrent

(note: i sym linked the Azureus exec to bittorent cuz i spell Azureus different everytime i type it. lol) Does anyone know what this exception means and how i can fix it? Also what java exec is it looking for? java or java_vm? I want to know so i'll just make a sym link to it in my path so Azureus doesn't have to auto-search. thanks for your help in advance.

try to run azureus from where you installed it and see if it works. it's a classpath issue, where azureus can't find the jar files it needs.

that worked perfectly. Is there a way i can associate files with a sym link so that azureus will find the files it needs when i use the sym link? Would a hardlink do this? Or should i just include the path that azureus is in to the PATH variable? I assume this would be less desirable because non-root users have easy access to that directory. thanks for your quick reply by the way.

I don't have access to my computer to check, but if I remember correctly I created a script that "cd"s to the azurues directory and run the executable. I'll post here when I find out for sure.

thanks i didn't even think of that. I know shell scripting so i just wrote one up quick to do it. If anyone is in the same boat as me here is the script i made.

#!/bin/sh

# Change to Azureus directory and execute Azureus

cd /home/jeff/src/azureus

./azureus

exit 0

of course this will work with any program just change the directory to reflect the new program and change ./azureus to reflect the new executable. Then just make the script executable with chmod +x scriptname.sh

thanks again for the reply.

i executed the script u wrote from webmin, it does'nt run. but it works fine from command line. i want to run azureus from webmin through my scheduled cron jobs.here is the output:
Output from command export DISPLAY=:0.0;/home/anirban/azureusscript.sh; ..

If webmin is not running as user anirban, won't work because you need access to .Xauthority, which, if defined is readable only by anirban.
Currently it opens the security cookie of the user that has started webmin while you should use the security cookie of the user that started X.

hi man,
i start webmin as root, and azureus as anirban .precisely, i run export DISPLAY=:0.0;/home/anirban/azureusscript.sh as user anirban. what sud i do to rectify it? pl help.TIA.
