    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6392?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12751800#comment-12751800 ] 

Rostislav Svoboda commented on AS7-6392:
----------------------------------------

> remove the "if $linux" and matching "fi"

I don't think it's good idea to remove it because readlink is not standard part of Solaris systems ++ RHEL 4 based readlink doesn't know option '-m' -- see JBPAPP-8372

readlink part is just helper to set JBOSS_BASE_DIR, JBOSS_LOG_DIR, JBOSS_CONFIG_DIR
You can set these properties before executing standalone.sh as described for example in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_JBossAS7_in_Fedora

If you really want to have readlink support for Cygwin I would suggest to include $cygwin check in "if $linux" part ... but not sure how readlink is behaving in Cygwin.
