Solaris 10

[Takuya Kawasaki <t-...@sbs.shimadzu.co.jp>]

Please let me ask a question.

I would like to use Solr on Solaris 10.
But I encountered a lot of errors.
First, I can’t install solr using install script in .tgz. script result shows I have to install manually not using the script.
Second, I can’t use ‘start’ command using /bin/solr script because of the wrong options of ‘awk’ command in Solaris 10.
Also, I can’t use ‘stop’ command using /bin/solr script and it happens just the same reason.

I think this script is written only for Linux not for Unix or just only not for Solaris.
(I know Solaris is unique OS and isn’t used widely in the world.)
I could install Solr on Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux) system so easily reading your website. (Thank you for creating so detailed documents!)
So I just would like to know whether Solr could run on the Solaris system or not.

Best Regards,
Takuya.

The scripts assume certain tools are installed, and are written for GNU 
versions of popular tools, because these are the things that are 
typically available to open source developers.  A commercial OS like 
Solaris often will not have these things installed by default, and the 
versions that ARE installed often do not accept the same commandline 
parameters, and may not be capable of the things that Solr developers 
are looking for.

If you install things like lsof, bash, and the GNU versions of tools 
like awk & sed (and possibly others), and make sure the system PATH is 
set up so the GNU versions are encountered first when typing the bare 
command in, the Solr scripts will probably start working.

Feel free to open a bug issue in Jira for support on a UNIX or UNIX-like 
OS that isn't working.  And if you can remain available to provide 
information about tools on that OS, it'll be easier to get the bug fixed.

Thanks,
Shawn

No idea about Solaris much but the only option is to install manually as
you did and try to modify /bin/solr script to get rid of the errors you are
seeing etc.
