Description

When running the servicemix command from any directory other than bin, the following error message is shown:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.karaf.main.Main

This does not happen in 6.1.1

Using the servicemix script from 6.1.1 solves the issue. 6.1.2 introduced the following change:

REALNAME=`readlink -e "$0" > /dev/null 2>&1`
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
REALNAME=$0
fi
DIRNAME=`dirname "$REALNAME"`
PROGNAME=`basename "$REALNAME"`

In 6.1.1 this was:

DIRNAME=`dirname "$0"`
PROGNAME=`basename "$0"`
