John Lindwall updated ZOOKEEPER-2042:
-------------------------------------
Description:
There are two issues in the zkServer.sh that make it not work properly out of
the box on Solaris.
1. The bin/zkServer.sh script uses plain "echo" in all instances but one: when
writing the pid to the pid file. In that instance it uses "/bin/echo".
The "/bin/echo" command on Solaris does not understand the "-n" parameter and
interprets it as a literal string, so the "-n" gets written into the pid file
along with the pid. This causes the "stop" command to fail.
2. The /bin/grep command in Solaris does not understand special character
classes like "[[:space:]]". You must use the alternate posix version of grep
as found in /usr/xpg4/bin/grep for this to work. If the script cannot be made
completely generic then at least we should document the need to use the posix
grep implementation on Solaris.
