--------------------------------------

             Summary: Can't Symlink to Kafka bins
                 Key: KAFKA-4566
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4566
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1
            Reporter: Stephane Maarek


in the kafka consumer for example, the last line is :
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh#L21

{code}
exec $(dirname $0)/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer "$@"
{code}

if I create a symlink using 
{code}
ln -s
{code}

it doesn't resolve the right directory name because of $(dirname $0) 

I believe the right way is to do:
{code}
"$(dirname "$(readlink -e "$0")")"
{code}
 

Any thoughts on that before I do a PR?
