A few more problems:
- I can't see any decent way to automagically execute <name>.class when
a user types <name>. If typing <name>.class is considered ok, why
is typing 'java <name>' not? If the solution is to add a soft link,
why not write a two-line script at once and avoid the need for kernel
support altogether?
- If the kernel only keeps track of a single CLASSPATH (via sysctl or
whatever), the user is limited to the code locations supported by
the sysadmin. Kind of not being able to set my own PATH, uck :-(
Maybe the kernel CLASSPATH should be appended to the users??
Seems like the shell script solution is the best one. Being able to
set the CLASSPATH that make _this_ program work in the script is a
additional benefit you can't get from kernel execution of the code.
