Tom White commented on WHIRR-507:
---------------------------------
This works for me on Mac except when the symlink is to the whirr script (and
not say the bin directory). Does it work for you?
Also, the patch mentions HADOOP_HOME when it should be WHIRR_HOME.
> Make whirr script executable from any path

> Key: WHIRR-507
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-507
> Project: Whirr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Environment: Linux (Ubuntu 11.04)
> Reporter: Marco Didonna
> Assignee: Marco Didonna
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: bash, script
> Attachments: whirr, whirr.noreadlink, whirr.readlink
>
>
> I personally find very painful to be forced to call whirr script using its
> whole path. I'd prefer to add whirr script to my $PATH env variable so that I
> can call whirr from anywhere. I've modified the whirr script according to
> this purpose.
> I've created two version of the modified script:
> * one that uses the readlink command
> * one that doesn't used the former command.
> I only tested under Ubuntu 11.04 so I've no idea whether or not the readlink
> command is available on other distros. So please test and comment.
