Tom White updated ZOOKEEPER-303:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: zookeeper-303.patch

The {{readlink}} command is used to canonicalize the start script, following 
symlinks recursively. This is a useful feature to have as it allows the scripts 
to be symlinked. I've attached a patch that detects if readlink is available. 
If it's not then you have to call the scripts directly (without symlinks) - 
which is a good compromise as it means the scripts can be used on Macs, while 
still supporting symlinks on Linux. 

Note also, as a workaround you can install GNU readlink (MacPorts: {{port 
install coreutils}}) and change {{readlink}} to {{greadlink}} in the scripts.
