paul cannon updated CASSANDRA-2992:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-don-t-hardcode-JAVA_HOME-in-redhat-initscript.patch.txt

0001: add search for appropriate JAVA_HOME in redhat initscript, now that cassandra-env.sh expects the right $JAVA to be preconfigured (see #2785).

> But 0.8.3 builds replaced the above code with one that doesn't check if JAVA_HOME is set correctly.

> The correct fix would be to remove "export JAVA_HOME" from /etc/init.d/cassandra or set it only to correct path and only if it hasn't already been set.
> It would also be nice to revert to "[ -x $JAVA_HOME/bin/java ]" in /usr/sbin/cassandra
