bamboo 6.8.1 zip is missing all the linux shell scripts in /bin/ to start the server

[Jonathan Valliere]

I checked bamboo 6.8.1 and 6.9.0; neither have any of the shell scripts necessary to start the server.  What is going on?

The documentation says they should be there https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/installing-bamboo-on-linux-289276792.html refers to start-bamboo.sh

Hello @Jonathan Valliere welcome to the Atlassian Community :)

What directory did you searched for `start-bamboo.sh`? I have downloaded the `atlassian-bamboo-6.8.1.tar.gz` from https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/download and after extracting the package, I could find the `start-bamboo.sh` inside the extracted package `bin` folder.

I actually ended up grabbing the OSX build which had the shell scripts.  As I said the ZIP file does not contain the shell scripts; you are correct that the tar.gz file does.  https://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/downloads/atlassian-bamboo-6.8.1.zip

Ok! Now I understand your point.

I will raise an issue to improve the naming of this files as depending on the file ending for OS separation is indeed confusing. 

Thanks for bringing this up :)

All the other Atlassian products I use seem to have identical ZIP and TAR.GZ archives.  I was expecting the ZIP to contain the shell scripts.  Its pure laziness on my part because typing "unzip" is faster than the "tar -zxvf".
