Portability of hadoop shell scripts for deployment
--------------------------------------------------

         Key: HADOOP-352
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-352
     Project: Hadoop
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 0.4.0    
    Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Quenot


Hadoop shell scripts are based on /bin/bash, which is a "standard" shell only 
on GNU/Linux.  On other Unix systems like FreeBSD however the "standard" shell 
is /bin/sh.  The attached patch addresses these compatiblity issues.  Note that 
Solaris support is not yet tested.

Also, the best way to set the HADOOP_HOME variable upon ssh connection in a 
portable way is to set it in .ssh/environment.  The bash startup script 
".bashrc" is not an option on systems where "bash" is not installed.
