Is there acway to specify an @-file that is not in (or near) the current directory using an absolue path?

I tried

JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-17 java @/etc/properties.txt -cp bin Tesr

Error: Could not find or load main class @.etc.properties.txt

It should work with an absolute path. Or at least I've had it work with an absolute path on Windows in the past. Does quoting it help ("@/etc/properties.txt")?

Which OS are you actually using? Which command shell?
