There is no problem with it now - updated patch creates {{/etc/default/$SOLR_SERVICE.in.sh}}. Thanks for advice.

> Until [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7871] is fixed, I suggest to improve current shell scripts. Provided patch:
>   *  changes {{$SOLR_ENV}} default to {{/etc/default/solr.in.sh}} . This is *security* issue. If {{solr.in.sh}} is placed in directory which is writable by {{$SOLR_USER}}, solr process is able to write to it, and than it will be run by root on start/shutdown.
>   * changes permissions. {{$SOLR_USER}} should only be able to write to {{$SOLR_VAR_DIR}} {{$SOLR_INSTALL_DIR/server/solr-webapp}} {{$SOLR_INSTALL_DIR/server/logs}} . {{solr-webapp}} directory might be inspected more. These directories should not be readable by other users as they may contain personal information.
>   * sets {{$SOLR_USER}} home directory to {{$SOLR_VAR_DIR}} . As I can see there is no need in {{/home/solr}} directory.
>   * adds quotes to unquoted variables
>   * adds leading zero to chmod commands
>   * removes group from chown commands (uses ":")
> Tested on ubuntu 14.04 amd64, but changes are pretty system-independent.
