[: 15: -a: unexpected operator
------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3570
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3570
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 4.4.2
Environment: Ubuntu 10.10
Reporter: Mike Stoddart
Assignee: Boris Kraft
I tried to start Magnolia on Ubuntu 10.10 and I got the following error:
[: 15: -a: unexpected operator
I got the following response from someone on the mailing list:
Seems that it is a shell issue with setenv.sh, not actually
magnolia_control.sh. When you run magnolia_control.sh it actually invokes
startup.sh which in turn invokes setenv.sh.
If you look inside setenv.sh, there is the following:
if [ -a "${CURDIR}/magnolia_banner.txt" ] ; then
cat ${CURDIR}/magnolia_banner.txt
fi
As far as I'm aware the "-a" option is not a valid file test parameter in Dash,
which is the shell invoked by /bin/sh in Ubuntu 10.10. You get the same problem
if you explicitly invoke the startup script with another shell such as Bash,
which doesn't have the -a option either.
I don't think it is causing any problems, as it is only trying to display the
Magnolia Banner text.
