Item14505: Localized version of /tools/solrjob gets overwritten with SolrPlugin update

I have found that line 12 of the /tools/solrjob shell script needs to be modified as part of installation to match the actual foswiki installation directory. However, whenever I update the plugin this file gets overwritten and then the real-time updating (via iWatch) doesn't happen until I remember to fix the shell script again.

Here's line 12 of /tools/solrjob :

test -z $FOSWIKI_ROOT && FOSWIKI_ROOT=/home/www-data/foswiki/core

Might the conditional fallback here be changed to get the Foswiki root from the parent of the directory where the solrjob script resides? In the absence of a more eloquent fix, I would propose simply distributing this file with name solrjob_default and include a note in installation about localizing and renaming the file for use with iWatch or cron jobs.

In the bash script $FOSWIKI_ROOT refers to an environment variable. The test -z only sets it if it's undefined. If you set that variable in the environment before running the script you should not have to edit anything.

export FOSWIKI_ROOT=/var/ww/myroot
tools/solrjob
