How to run jar files sequentially from a shell script

I am trying to run two java application one after other in my docker container.
In my dockerfile i have specified invoker.sh as the entry point.
ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "/opt/invoker.sh"]
Then i use this script to run two jar files.
#!/bin/sh
java -jar loader.jar
java -jar service.jar
but this does not work. It gives
Error: Unable to access jarfile javaimpl-loader.jar
and only the service.jar is executed. When i tried echo $(ls) it shows that both the jar files are there.
but if i change the script to
#!/bin/sh
echo $(java -jar loader.jar)
java -jar service.jar
then both the jars work. Why cant i use the 1st script. any help regarding this highly apreciated.

It appears the first example is being treated as a single line, you could work with that. Also, I would prefer bash to /bin/sh. Like,
#!/usr/bin/env bash
java -jar loader.jar && java -jar service.jar

Invoking java jar from shell script in cloud foundry

I have a cloud foundry application which has shell exec(builder) through which i can execute shell scripts.
My cf application first downloads the shell script and java jar to CF local (ex:/app/lib/) directory from s3 and it executes the shell script.In shell script i am triggering a java program and it fails with "Shell command returned a non-zero exit value: 127 error" .
cat my_shell_java.sh ->
#!/bin/bash
java -jar myjar.jar com.abc.def.myClass
i have tried with below command as well but same error.
cat my_shell_java.sh ->
#!/bin/bash
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java java -jar myjar.jar com.abc.def.myClass
But if i execute shell which creates a folder in CF , it works fine.
cat my_shell_mkdir.sh ->
#!/bin/bash
mkdir /app/lib
Can some one pls help me on how can i execute a java program from shell script in Cloud foundry.

You can just push the java app archive using cf push.
What is the need for the shell script?
I am just curious....

Run Jar file in command prompt on Linux Server

How can we run Jar File in command prompt?
I've used this command:
java -jar myJARFile.jar
But the result was:
-bash: java: command not found

You need to install java on your machine and add the java directory to PATH variable.

Jar not running

So I created a script the the following commands
#! /usr/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
JAVA=/usr/bin/java
MY_SERVER=/home/user/Desktop/Hello.jar
USER=user
/bin/su - $USER -c "$JAVA -jar $MY_SERVER &"
And I saved it in
etc/init.d/
And then ran the following command in terminal
sudo update-rc.d java_server_launch.sh defaults
I have a program located at
/home/user/Desktop/
And it is called Hello.jar and it works fine when I run it. When I restart my computer for some reason the program (Hello.jar) does not execute. What am I doing wrong?
I'm doing exactly what the answer here says.

You need to replace Hello.jar with $MY_SERVER in the last line of your bash script. That's because your current working directory isn't /home/user/Desktop
Edit: Try replacing the last line of code with this:
/bin/su $USER -c "$JAVA -jar $MY_SERVER &"

if you're running on Ubuntu you should check out upstart

Multiple commands on remote machine using shell script

I have a Java program Desktop/testfolder/xyz.jar on a remote machine. It has a configuration file on the same folder. When I SSH into the machine, I do:
"ssh user#remote java -cp Desktop/testfolder/xyz.jar Main"
The problem here is the configuration file is not in the path, as we are in the home folder so my program cannot read the configuration.
I want to first go into that folder and then run the program from that folder. In a shell script if I did this
"ssh user#remote cd Desktop/testfolder"
"java -cp xyz.jar Main"
it executes the first statement and when the second statement is run it runs on my current machine not the remote machine.
Can we do only one command or there are any other solutions for this?

Try something like this:
ssh you#yours.com "cd /home && ls -l"

You could try separating the commands by a semicolon:
ssh user#remote "cd Desktop/testfolder ; java -cp xyz.jar Main"

If you want to split your commands over multiple lines for the sake of readability, you could also pass the list of commands to the bash command as follows:
ssh user#remote.host bash -c "'
cd Desktop/testfolder
java -cp xyz.jar Main
'"
