Any idea what does the below command line do
Appreciate it in advance.
java -cp $CLASSPATH: fsotruDataUpload $1 $2 >...................

Hi:

Since this appears to be a snippet from a shell, the command:

Executes a file named 'java' with the '-c' and '-p' switches; the argument that $CLASSPATH evaluates to followed by a colon; another argument consisting of the string "fsotru ..." and two more arguments passed to the shell or a subroutine in the shell which encapasulates the 'java' command.

Regards!
