Nick Jacobsen commented on NUTCH-82: ------------------------------------ I think the problem here is that a bash script, by definition is not portable. Yes, you can *emulate* a *sh shell on windows, using cygwin, and build any required tools (df, etc - it does not exist in ALL shell implimentations) - but it is still *emulation*. In general, anything you can do in bash, you can do in perl, but it is not exactly simple - and sometimes requires perl modules, which I would agree is not a good thing. I would suggest that someone (I will even look into it) write a java launching tool. I see providing only a bash control script as restricting the use of nutch to people running *nix systems. The only problem with java is that it needs to be compiled, and for something like a control script it is nice to be able to *simply* modify it. Just a guess here, but doesn't java have a script interpreter built into it? > Nutch Commands should run on Windows without external tools > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-82 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-82 > Project: Nutch > Type: New Feature > Environment: Windows 2000 > Reporter: AJ Banck > Attachments: nutch.bat, nutch.bat, nutch.pl > > Currently there is only a shellscript to run the Nutch commands.
