The admins run the command below on one of the clusters to stop/start Jira on the other nodes:
1
pbrun -h <JiraHostname> -c /bin/su - OS_user /JIRA_INSTALL/bin/start-jira.shBut it fails with the error above. If the admins try to run the same command on the nodes instead of executing remotely, it works.
Resolution
Some environments expect the user to change the directory first, and then run the command:
1
pbrun -h <JiraHostname> -c /bin/su - OS_user "cd /JIRA_INSTALL/bin;./start-jira.sh"Was this helpful?
