> I'm testing Karaf 4.2.8 running as a service on CentOS 7 using the karaf:wrapper feature. A problem I encountered is that in this new version, SSHing into the console and running 
> {code:java}
> exec locale{code}
> returns POSIX as the locale for everything:
> {code:java}
> karaf@root()> shell:exec locale
> LANG=
> LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
> LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
> LC_TIME="POSIX"
> LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
> LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
> LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
> LC_PAPER="POSIX"
> LC_NAME="POSIX"
> LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
> LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
> LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
> LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
> LC_ALL={code}
> . This is different from the locale of the user that the karaf server is running as (which is en-us.UTF-8 or something like that), and also different from the value in karaf 4.0.7 running as a service, the version I upgraded from (also UTF-8) and also different from running it using /bin/karaf-server.sh (also UTF-8). For me, this causes an issue when doing a svn checkout from a karaf feature/bundle, because the svn repository is in UTF-8 and Subversion can't deal with the client and server having different locales. I imagine there will be other issues as well with other programs I'd like to run from Karaf.
> For now, I can work around it by manually changing my locale through an exec, but I can't really ask that of my end users. I feel like it's not really intended that Karaf runs under a different locale based on whether it's been started as a service or not. I also think this might be a regression. At any rate, even if it's intended, I'm hoping there is a workaround like a startup script I can edit so the locale is always UTF-8.
