Hi,

I istalled Jmeter5.3 and PlugManager1.4, and there is only `PluginsManagerCMD.bat` and `PluginsManagerCMD.sh` in my jmeter bin directory, and when I execute the following command to generate png, the command output error:

jj@MacBook-Pro bin % ./PluginsManagerCMD.sh --generate-png /Users/jj/perf/test.png --input-jtl /Users/jj/perf/sdhb.jtl --plugin-type ResponseTimesOverTime

You're using wrong script, PluginsManagerCMD is for command-line operations for the JMeter Plugins Manager, if you need to generate a chart from the command line you need to use JMeterPluginsCMD.sh instead:

./JMeterPluginsCMD.sh --generate-png /Users/jj/perf/test.png --input-jtl /Users/jj/perf/sdhb.jtl --plugin-type ResponseTimesOverTime

If you don't have JMeterPluginsCMD.sh script in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation you can get it as:

./PluginsManagerCMD.sh install jpgc-cmd
