What I use for invoking Saxon is similar to this:
#! /bin/sh
# Make sure we have at least one parameter: the XML input document
# Additional arguments will be passed to Saxon.
case $# in
0) echo "no pathname for xml input file"
exit;;
esac
xml=$1
shift
# Set JAVA_HOME (to make it stand out) and define path to java.
JAVA_HOME=/extra/JDK8u20/jdk1.8.0_20
java=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
# Set Saxon jar (to make it stand out)
SAXON_JAR=/extra/saxon/saxon9he.jar
# Set stylesheet pathname (to make it stand out)
XML2CSV_XSL=/home/cwilbur/stylesheets/xml2csv.xsl
# Call transformation using the shell variables set before
# and pass additional parameters.
$java -cp $SAXON_JAR net.sf.saxon.Transform \
-xsl:$XML2CSV_XSL -s:$xml "$@"
# end of script
You store this on a file /home/cwilbur/bin/xml2csv
Make sure to
$ chmod ugo+x /home/cwilbur/bin/xml2csv
and then you (and everybody else on this system) can invoke this using
~cwilbur/bin/xml2csv todays.xml
The variables commented "to make it stand out" need to be adapted to your
system. Also, I'm using cwilbur as your user name, which is just a guess.
Finally, your ~cwilbur/bin may not be the best place for a shell script to
be used by everybody on this system,

Want to write a command line to call Saxon processor from a unix script
line. Am using Saxon-HE from Unix command line to convert my XML file into
a CSV file so it can be uploaded into a DB Table. We are using the DB table
as input into our AP interface in ERP E1. Had to switch to Saxon processor
because xsltproc does not work with xsl 2.0.
In the command line call I need to specify two classpaths (Classpath for
JAVA, Classpath for SAXON jar files)
How would I call the saxon processor in a unix script and pass it the
following information
JavaClassPath, SaxonJarClassPath, InputFile, StylesheetFile, OutputFile
So far this is the unix command line I came across on the web. Read thru
page 853-854 of XSLT 2.0 3rd Edition Programmer's Reference and it does not
quite give me what I am looking for. Where would I find all the Saxon
command line options
Want to do saxon conversion of XML file within a unix shell script. We
have Java on Unix box. Loaded Saxon jar files in a different directory on
unix box. Loaded stylesheet on unix box. Loaded InputFile on unix box.
*saxon -r saxonjarclasspath/saxon.jar -m javaclasspath -s:Input_File
-xsl:Stylesheet_File -o Output_File*
