@Prem Kripalani That is weird. I'm looking at code for nifi 1.0.0 and line 82 does not have JAVAHOME anywhere near it. In fact, I don't see JAVAHOME anywhere. Typically that variable has an underscore "_" like JAVA_HOME. The error message "syntax error near unexpected token `newline'" is associated with an invalid redirect ">" with a newline after it. Can you find the file nifi.sh and look around line 82 to see if you see anything about JAVAHOME or if you see a redirect with no filename after it? This could be an empty variable after the ">" as well.

In any case, it may be easier to reinstall Nifi than to track it down.

thanks a lot for your quick reply,

as you suggested, i have reinstalled nifi and Magically (**as always happens with HDP 2.5) its working, only took me six hours to work it out,

i have installed nifi in stand alone windows 10 environment, to test and it worked fine

than restarted computer few times and it is working now

thanks a lot
