Description

Error:

C:\...\flume-ng.ps1 : The term 'ss' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ .\bin\flume-ng.ps1 agent -n Flume_Test_Agent -f conf\flume-conf.properties.templ ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (ss:String) [flume-ng.ps1], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException,flume-ng.ps1

Fix: Remove the 'ss' on line 169:

...
Function GetJavaPath {
    if ($env:JAVA_HOME) {
        return "$env:JAVA_HOME\bin\java.exe" }ss
    Write-Host "WARN: JAVA_HOME not set"
    return '"' + (Resolve-Path "java.exe").Path + '"'
}
...

Work-around: Remove the ss on line 169 manually in the powershell script and try again.
