Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1049#issuecomment-134298584 Apparently, the `readlink` utility is not part of POSIX. So we might have to revert to the old way of parsing the output of `ls -ld` to stay compatible. It is actually more reliable than I thought because POSIX specifies that the output of `ls -ld` should always be of the form "link_name -> target".
