Maybe it's your class path? echo "${CLASSPATH}"
Should show you where the java system will look for jar and class files etc. Look for "." which indicates "current directory". The path separator is a colon ":". You might get lucky if you do this: export CLASSPATH=/home/pi/downloads:"${CLASSPATH}" Also, what happens if you type: java -version Do you get a response? Does the Pi user own the jar file? ls -l downloads/SMSQmulator.jar Disclaimer: I'm not a java developer, nor do I play one on TV. Cheers, Norm.
