I do not think we can be absolutely certain that bash will *always* be in that exact location. Checked the bash source tarball, and it installs to /usr/local/bin by default. OS builders are modifying the install location. It does appear that the service installer script hardcodes /bin/bash as the solr user's shell when creating it. That's probably a mistake, even though it does appear to work for people. If the shell of the user is /bin/sh (or /bin/sh is run by su), does everything still work? That exact binary is nearly guaranteed to be on every POSIX system. I would expect /bin/sh to work, because the shebang of bin/solr and friends (where bashims are actually needed) is "#!/usr/bin/env bash". I notice that the shebang of the init script itself points at /bin/sh. Thanks, Shawn
