Jean-Baptiste Onofré reassigned AMQ-5842: ----------------------------------------- Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré > activemq script doesn't work on solaris because of "su" command > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-5842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5842 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Broker > Affects Versions: 5.11.1 > Environment: Solaris 11.1 (SPARC) > Activemq 5.11.1 installed from tar.gz > Reporter: Thomas RICOU > Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré > Priority: Trivial > Labels: easyfix, script, solaris > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > I installed activemq from archive and wished to run the broker using a > specific user but I was having a problem with the "su" command lines 134 : su > -c "mkdir $ACTIVEMQ_DATA" - $ACTIVEMQ_USER; and 294/295 : su -s /bin/sh -c > "..." - $ACTIVEMQ_USER > Actually, the "su" command is used to "Switch User" whereas the intended task > here is to execute a commad as another user. In my opinion, the "need" and > the "command goal" don't match. Moreover, the "sudo" command matches better : > Switch User DO. And on my platform, the "su" command doesn't support the -c > parameter and only permits to change the current user before typing other > commands. > So I would use the "sudo" command like that : > - line 134 : sudo -u $ACTIVEMQ_USER mkdir $ACTIVEMQ_DATA > - line 294 : DOIT_PREFIX="sudo -u $ACTIVEMQ_USER /bin/sh -c " > And I would also remove the DOIT_POSTFIX variable : > - to leave the 295th line empty > - to adjust lines 310, 323 and 333 without $DOIT_POSTFIX -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
