How can I execute a program (C/C++) after uploading it to Bluemix?

Question

I've written a number of C/C++ programs in my local environment that I pushed to Bluemix using cf push MYAPP with null-buildpack-master for the buildpack.

Now I want to execute those programs. How can I do that?

Answer 1

I needed to specify two pieces of information to my cf push command to do this.

First use the -c option with the command to start my program. Second use the -b option with a null-buildpack to indicate no actual buildpack is required to run the comand.

For example:

cf push -c ./RunMeNow -b https://github.com/ryandotsmith/null-buildpack
