> I ran into some trouble in preparing a Homebrew formula to install Flink on Mac ([homebrew-core#968|https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/968]).   Homebrew can install bin scripts into the system path, e.g. `/usr/local/bin/flink`:
> {code}
> $ cat /usr/local/bin/flink
> #!/bin/bash
> exec "/usr/local/Cellar/apache-flink/1.0.2/libexec/bin/flink" "$@"
> {code}
> It would be nice to install the various Flink shells too, but their names don't seem ideal for inclusion on the system path.   I propose that they be renamed or aliased to have the following names (old -> new):
> {code}
> "pyflink2.sh" -> "pyflink2"
> "pyflink3.sh" -> "pyflink3"
> "start-scala-shell.sh" -> "flink-shell"
> {code}
> A related issue is, the shell scripts don't correctly determine their install location when called via a symlink.
