--------------------------------------

             Summary: `spark-shell --help` fails if called from outside spark home
                 Key: SPARK-1869
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1869
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Patrick Wendell
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 1.1.0, 1.0.1


When a user runs the shell with `--help` from outside of the Spark directory, it doesn't call spark-submit in the direct location:

{code}
$ /home/patrick/Documents/spark/bin/spark-shell --help
Usage: ./bin/spark-shell [options]
/home/patrick/Documents/spark/bin/spark-shell: line 33: ./bin/spark-submit: No such file or directory
{code}

The fix is simple, we should just use the full path as in other places where we invoke the shell.
