As was mentioned before the mechanism you are (ab-)using was never  
meant to run unixy scripts. The ProjectLauncher which parses the  
command line in a regular image is designed to, err, launch projects,  
in the web browser plugin, that is (see the class comment on  
AbstractLauncher).

You can of course customize your image to do anything on startup,  
including quitting after reading a script, if a deprecated platform- 
dependent argument like -headless was passed to the VM. That may not  
be the brightest idea but if it gets the job done I have to admit  
doing worse before ;)
