I'm trying to use Automater(first attempt of using this software) to create a sequence that will automatically run ./usr/mongo/bin/mongod and ./usr/mongo/bin/mongo then run my node.js server app at usr/node/app.js on startup

Currently I am able to run ./usr/mongo/bin/mongod using automater by using the Run Shell Script option. After that however the script fails

My script is as follows.

./usr/mongo/bin/mongod ./usr/mongo/bin/mongo /usr/node/ node app.js

Could you please help me solve this issue?

'.' means relative to the current directory, while you probably want to specify the path of relative to the root '/'. – Gerry Feb 1 at 16:38
@Gerry I added ./ to run the mongod shell script – BaconJuice Feb 1 at 16:41

Try
./usr/mongo/bin/mongod; ./usr/mongo/bin/mongo; /usr/node/app.js
instead.
As was mentioned by @Gerry, you should specify complete paths.
