             Summary: gfsh script fails to find and add tools.jar to classpath on Mac OSX
                 Key: GEODE-1836
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1836
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: gfsh
            Reporter: Kirk Lund


On Mac OSX, the gfsh script fails to find and add tools.jar to the classpath.

I'm testing this using /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_66.jdk/Contents/Home.
{noformat}
$ ./gfsh

gfsh>start server --name=server
Starting a Geode Server in /Users/klund/apache-geode-1.0.0-incubating.M3/bin/server...
An error occurred while attempting to start a Geode Cache Server: sun.tools.attach.MacosxVirtualMachine.isLinuxThreads()Z
{noformat}
The server named "server" actually starts up fine but GFSH is unable to get its status because the GFSH process is failing to load sun.tools.attach. MacosxVirtualMachine.

The "gfsh" script is written for Linux, and I believe we'll need to alter the script some to make it work on Mac. I'll file a bug for this.

For now, the best workaround I can offer up is to add the tools.jar to your CLASSPATH:
{noformat}
$ export CLASSPATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_66.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/tools.jar

$ ./gfsh
