Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2423: --------------------------------------------- Not ruby, please. Regarding python, I don't think it makes much sense to move everything to python... especially when it's just something simple, like launching randomwalk or some other environment set-up, just to run java, or something simple like that. For some things, it may make sense to use python... but I think that might be outside the scope of this ticket, and we should discuss those things in their proper context. > Converge Shell scripts on single implementation > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-2423 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2423 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: Mike Drob > Assignee: Mike Drob > Attachments: ACCUMULO-2423.v1.patch.txt > > > Do we want to have a stated dependency on a particular shell? Most of our > scripts explicitly use bash, but some use sh. Most scripts invoke > {{#\!/usr/bin/env bash}} but some do {{#\!/bin/bash}} or other crazy things. > I don't have a particular preference which way we go, but I'd like to see us > standardize one way or the other. > If we use {{/bin/sh}}, then we can run everything through the > [checkbashisms|https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh#I_am_a_developer._How_can_I_avoid_this_problem_in_future.3F] > script (also available for other distros) > If we go the other way, and switch everything to bash, then we can run them > through {{ksh -n}} for deprecation warnings. I know that's a different shell, > but they're still moderately useful. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
