    ****************************************************************
    There was a problem with white space preventing the executor
    from starting and stopping properly on Solaris. The debugging
    command script (lbcommands.sh) could not locate java on
    solaris sparcv9.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Corrected scripting. Manual corrections can be made without
    applying this fix by removing white space between stop and
    parenthesis () on the lbexecutor script and adding the correct
    java path in the lbcommands script.

       8.0.0.13
