 Then you can run the file "JSatTrak_Mac.app" to run JSatTrak properly (as long as they are in the same directory).
 
 or you can use this command from the command line:
 /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Commands/java  -jar JSatTrak.jar
 
+or for OS X 10.11:
+/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Commands/java  -jar JSatTrak.jar
