[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-1045) Be consistent with shells, bigtop-detect-javahome, and bigtop-utils versions

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1045?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13734393#comment-13734393 ] 

Peter Linnell commented on BIGTOP-1045:
---------------------------------------

Lovely :)  +1 to committing and seeing where there might be breakage, which I doubt will happen. Only caveat is to make sure Ubuntu has bash really installed and not just /bin/dash.

Thanks!

> A while ago we decided to standardize on using /bin/bash (as opposed to /bin/sh), and to keep bigtop-detect-javahome in a centralized location. In addition to JAVA_HOME, there are now other scripts in bigtop-utils that are needed, so we should require the latest version.
> Until now, we've just been replacing /bin/sh when it's been a problem, but it's never obvious that it is the problem and is a low-risk change, so I'd like to just do a mass change now. With regards to bigtop-detect-javahome, we previously made this as a mass change, but several large patches were submitted soon thereafter and had been based off of older examples.
