             Summary: /bin/activemq start as root fails if $ACTIVEMQ_USER is set to user with /bin/csh as login shell
                 Key: AMQ-6447
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6447
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Distribution
    Affects Versions: 5.10.0
            Reporter: Rene Krell


Provided the following circumstances:
- Linux/Unix,
- in the bin/activemq script is used the $ACTIVE_USER variable set to a valid system user which has */bin/csh* as default login shell (/etc/passwd) instead of bash,
- bin/activemq or its symlink to /etc/init.d is called as *root* user.

For the above conditions, ActiveMQ start fails with:
{noformat}
Ambiguous output redirect. 
RET=1: Command not found. 
APID=: Command not found. 
APID: Undefined variable. 
APID: Undefined variable. 
{noformat}

Users with /bin/csh as default shell are sometimes required, for instance for using as SAP Netweaver user.

The solution is quite simple: In bin/activemq, find the (two) calls of {{su -c ...}} and replace them by {{su -s /bin/sh -c ...'}} to force bash to be the default shell in each case.
