Thomas RICOU created AMQ-5842:
---------------------------------
Summary: 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
Priority: Trivial
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
