Solr 6.1 Won't Start on Non-bash-Enabled System

I'm attempting to upgrade a Solr 4.8.1 instance to 6.1. The host OS is 
OpenBSD 6.0.

Attempting to start Solr (as in the on-line QuickStart) with:

   bin/solr start -e cloud -noprompt

fails with the error "env: bash: No such file or directory". Apparently 
bin/solr is a bash script. The OpenBSD host I'm using doesn't have bash 
installed (and unfortunately, no, I can't install it just for this). The 
default shell is ksh.

When I try to use the script I previously used to start the 4.8.1 
version, I get the warnings:

    WARNING: System properties and/or JVM args set.  Consider using
      --dry-run or --exec
    WARNING: Nothing to start, exiting ..."

The old startup script looks like this:

    JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.8.0 JAVA=java JETTY_HOME=/var/solr6
      JETTY_PORT=8983 JETTY_LOGS=/var/solr6/logs
      /usr/local/jdk-1.8.0/bin/java -Dsolr.solr.home=/var/solr6/solr
      -Djava.util.logging.config.file=etc/logging.properties
      -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=abc123 -jar /var/solr6/start.jar
      --daemon &

If I had to guess, something has changed in the version of jetty 
included with Solr 6.1.0, but I can't figure out what parameters are 
different.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

A unix system w/o bash is rare enough these days, it's unlikely to be supported.

As a workaround, last I checked, I was still able to create a WAR (by
jarring up the appropriate directory) and launch it the old 4.x way
(java -jar start.jar)
For your setup, try putting the webapp in /var/solr6/webapps/solr.war

Thank you for your reply.

After some experimentation and reading of jetty docs, I found that by 
deleting the "--daemon" argument and add "--module=http" to my startup 
script, I was able to get Solr running, albeit, with several warnings 
that I would like to resolve.

When you say "look at full process execution string", how would I do that?

Best wishes.

Workarounds

1. get a VM with openness and bash.
2. Enable +x (echo expanded commands) on the first line of the script where
it specifies bash
3. Run the script with 'tee' or 'transcript' or other output redirect. Use
the full JVM launching command to see full expanded parameter list.

Or get Solr running and look at full process execution string.

Or ask somebody else who has OpenBSD with bash to do same.

Or try editing bash to ksh and see how you far you get, but I suspect not
very far, the conditional formats are different I believe.
