I stumbled across a problem of "trafficserver start" exiting at line 217.
Turns out the culprit was an empty DISTRIB_ID. Looking at the top of the script I see that's set in an idiosyncratic-looking way: if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then DISTRIB_ID="suse" elif [ -e /etc/fedora-release ]; then DISTRIB_ID="fedora" elif [ -e /etc/redhat-release ]; then ... [more of same] So for an amazon-hosted node I was able to work around it with a symlink from /etc/system-release to /etc/redhat-release. Is there a reason for this test, or is it just a historic legacy? -- Nick Kew
