[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8432) SH script syntax errors
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8432?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13282693#comment-13282693 ]
Andy Isaacson commented on HADOOP-8432:
---------------------------------------
That failure would be expected if /bin/sh is not bash. For example, by default Debian uses dash for /bin/sh.
If this is the cause of your problem, you can fix it by simply running the start-dfs.sh program directly, or by explicitly running it under bash with "bash $HADOOP_INSTALL/sbin/start-dfs.sh", or by changing your system's /bin/sh back to bash with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash" and answer "no" when asked "use dash as system default shell".

> Hi, Everyone
> I just can't start with new binary release of hadoop with following CLI command:

> ... /hadoop-2.0.0-alpha/sbin/start-dfs.sh: 78: ... /hadoop-2.0.0-alpha/sbin/../libexec/hadoop-config.sh: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
> Inside the script start-dfs.sh there are multiple syntax wrongs. Could you fix it?
