Hi

Thanks Chris. It worked.
Actually  bash versions 3.1 onwards quoting regex is not necessary.
But for older versions of bash we still need to use quotes for regex matching.
My machine has bash version 3.0 (which is really old). Hence it didn't work.

I ran in to this on Solaris, where it worked fine on Linux. There's something in the bash interpreter that doesn't like the regex. The way I got around it was to double quote the regex, like such:

"^java\.library\.path=(.*)$"

You'll have to do that in roughly 4 spots throughout the script. That cleared it up for me. I'd love to hear of a better way to do that though :)

    Hi

    My flume 1.2.0 setup is working fine on one machine.
    But when I ran it on another machine it gave me syntax error while
    starting
    agent :
    "bin/flume-ng: line 81: syntax error in conditional expression:
    unexpected token `('
    bin/flume-ng: line 81: syntax error near `^java\.library\.path=(.'
    bin/flume-ng: line 81: `      if [[ $line =~
    ^java\.library\.path=(.*)$ ]]; then' "

    I have set JAVA_HOME.
    I even vimdiffed flume-ng file with the one working fine. There
    was no difference.
    Has anyone come across such error?


    Regards,
