Ken Prows commented on SOLR-327:
--------------------------------
On second thought, cygwin may be required to get the scripts to work in windows
because of the ssh/rsync requirement.
I've read that you can already get the current bash scripts to run under
cygwin, so not much would change on the windows front.
> 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.
