Description

Can you add a feature request to pass JVM_OPTS to the sstablescrub script – and other places where java is being called? (Among other things, this lets us run java stuff with "-Djava.awt.headless=true" on OS X so that Java processes don't pop up into the foreground – i.e. we have a script that loops over all CFs and runs sstablescrub, and without that flag being passed in the OS X machine becomes pretty much unusable as it keeps switching focus to the java processes as they start.)
