Harsh J resolved HADOOP-860.
----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
This has long been fixed.
All bin/* shell scripts use {{#!/usr/bin/env bash}} as their shebangs, and this
has been working for a lot of OSes out of the box.
> start-all.sh fails on Ubuntu 6.10

> Key: HADOOP-860
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-860
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripts
> Environment: Ubuntu 6.10 (and presumably Debian Etch)
> Reporter: Shannon -jj Behrens
> Assignee: Edward J. Yoon
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'm using Hadoop on Ubuntu 6.10. I ran into:
> $ start-all.sh
> starting namenode, logging to
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-jj-namenode-jjinuxland.out
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/slaves.sh: 36: Syntax error: Bad
> substitution
> starting jobtracker, logging to
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-jj-jobtracker-jjinuxland.out
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/slaves.sh: 36: Syntax error: Bad
> substitution
> Ubuntu 6.10 switched away from using bash for the default /bin/sh.
> The workaround is simple:
> (cd /bin && ln -sf bash sh)
> Nonetheless, it might be nice to update the script so that it works by
> default on Ubuntu since it is pretty popular. I'm guessing that the
> change would be simple. The offending line is:
> ssh $HADOOP_SSH_OPTS $slave $"${@// /\\ }" \
