vMX

Hi

Ubuntu: ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64

vMX: vmx-bundle-17.3R2.10

I have installed vMX on Ubuntu following this guide and I'm using all the recommended package versions:

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/vmx17.3/information-products/pathway-pages/getting-started/getting-started.html

Everything seems to work fine and the vMX is up and running but whenever I run the "vmx.sh" script it always comes with an error like this:

# ./vmx.sh --status
./vmx.sh: 460: [: ubuntu: unexpected operator
==================================================
    Welcome to VMX
==================================================

...

or

# ./vmx.sh -lv --install
./vmx.sh: 460: [: ubuntu: unexpected operator
==================================================

    Welcome to VMX
==================================================

...

I don't understand why the "./vmx.sh" script is a "#!/bin/sh" script when sh (dash) don't understand "[". There must be a lot of "if" checks that doesn't work?

Cheers,

Martin

The solution must be just to change "/bin/sh" to user bash instead the default of dash in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.

Like this:

----

# ll /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 28 15:54 /bin/sh -> dash*

# cd /bin
# rm sh
# ln -s bash sh

# ll /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 20 02:37 /bin/sh -> bash*

----

Cheers,
