[jboss-dev] Symlinks and JBoss AS ./bin/*.sh scripts

Hey guys, Over the week-end I've packaged JBoss AS 6 into HomeBrew (a Mac OS X packaging system made of git and ruby). I've discovered that our scripts are not symlinks friendly and will fail (often not finding the jars). I've fixed the issue but I wanted to get a review of my work. Let me know if you thing there could be a problem, otherwise I'll apply them to SVN. I've basically replaced DIRNAME=`dirname $0` PROGNAME=`basename $0` with # Extract the directory and the program name # takes care of symlinks PRG="$0" while [ -h "$PRG" ] ; do ls=`ls -ld "$PRG"` link=`expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'` if expr "$link" : '/.*' > /dev/null; then PRG="$link" else PRG="`dirname "$PRG"`/$link" fi done DIRNAME=`dirname "$PRG"` PROGNAME=`basename "$PRG"` Full details and full patch available here https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8670 Emmanuel
