Description

Launchtask.java has the following:
if (os.indexOf("linux")Unable to render embedded object: File (=-1 ) not found.=-1) {
if (exists(base+".sh"))

{ return base+".sh"; }

}

Workarounds exist (I created a symlink in the downloaded tomcat directory for startup -> startup.sh and shutdown -> shutdown.sh) but clearly not all the world's a VAX.

Enumerating all the possible unixes is probably harder than making one branch for those poor souls running java under OpenVMS or MVS or the like.

Suggestion: default to if (exists(base+".sh")) return(base+".sh"); and handle the other exceptional cases like Windows.

In which situation is this an issue for you? Will close the issue until we have more information on the use case (then we could think about re-opening it)

In the situation where I'm trying to run Activiti on an HP-UX box...which is not Linux nor OS/X nor Windows...

Still do not see why Ant is required there

/me bangs head into desk.

I'm just trying to start the Activiti engine.

Instructions were to run "ant demo.start"

It failed to run, I provided a traceback as to why it failed. I provided a suggestion to not trying to specifically enumerate all brands of Unices, but rather to provide a more unified approach--that is, treat all Unices as equal, and deal with Windows separately.

That's all. You don't want to fix it? Fine. But there are people out there who WERE trying to run activiti 5.9 (I don't know if further updates fixed this) on HP/UX and failing.

Hi Jerry,

You are absolutely right about raising this issue, but for the 5.11 release we want to be less dependent on scripts etc, so that's the main reason for closing the issue.
The 5.11 distribution will probably contain (not final yet) a set of downloadable artifacts that you can deploy to Tomcat or another application server yourself.
Hope this makes sense.

Best regards,

Tijs
