What OS are you using?

Assuming you're using Bash or a similar shell, and assuming the Java interpreter is called [tt]java[/tt] and is in the PATH, and assuming Whatever.class is the file containing the main function, and assuming it's in CLASSPAH or equivalent, and assuming I understand what you asked for:

#! /bin/sh

[ $# -ne 1 ] && {
    echo "Need an input file" >&2
    exit 1
}

java Whatever $1

If that's wrong, rephrase what you want; it's not really clear.
