Christopher Berner commented on HADOOP-8386:
--------------------------------------------

Just checked my installation and I'm using bash and the output of "type cd" says "cd is a shell builtin".

Will try and test this on a fresh install of 12.04 and see if I can reproduce it.

> if the 'hadoop' script is run as 'bin/hadoop' on a distro where the 'cd' command prints to stdout, the script will fail due to this line: 'bin=`cd "$bin"; pwd`'
> Workaround: execute from the bin/ directory as './hadoop'
> Fix: change that line to 'bin=`cd "$bin" > /dev/null; pwd`'
