shell scripts failed to run on Solaris 8 (and probably other non recent UNIX)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-327
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-327
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Paul Sundling
Priority: Minor
There are several places where commands used are incompatible with older UNIX
versions, even though these capabilities are present. There are ways to
rewrite the shell scripts to be compatible with these older versions.
The first example is the use of pgrep. Older machines will have grep, egrep
and fgrep, but NOT pgrep. I've been doing UNIX for well over a decade and never
heard of pgrep, although it is installed on my home server apparently. :)
There are also enhancements like the use of 'cp -l'. This could be
accomplished with the 'ln' command instead on older UNIX versions. Since it's
also used recursively in snapshooter, which 'ln' doesn't support, it makes the
command more complex.
