Bill Au commented on SOLR-327:
------------------------------
The latest version of the scripts no longer use "cp -l" on Solaris:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-282
I no longer have access to a Solaris machine so I cannot check myself but
according to the Solaris 8 documentation published by SUN pgrep is available on
Solaris 8:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-0624/6j9vek5cu?a=view
What other incompatibilities have you come across?
> 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.
