Harsh J resolved HADOOP-860.
----------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This has long been fixed.

All bin/* shell scripts use {{#!/usr/bin/env bash}} as their shebangs, and this has been working for a lot of OSes out of the box.

> Ubuntu 6.10 switched away from using bash for the default /bin/sh.
> The workaround is simple:
> (cd /bin && ln -sf bash sh)
> Nonetheless, it might be nice to update the script so that it works by

> ssh $HADOOP_SSH_OPTS $slave $"${@// /\\ }" \
