As aegir user I’m starting the hosting-queued:

$ sudo service hosting-queued start
/usr/bin/drush: line 2: ?php: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/drush: line 4: /bin: is a directory
/usr/bin/drush: line 5: aegir_backups_create.sh: command not found
/usr/bin/drush: line 6: aegir_backups_create.sh: command not found
/usr/bin/drush: line 7: aegir_backups_create.sh: command not found
/usr/bin/drush: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `as'
/usr/bin/drush: line 8: ` * (as usually the case), will be found in your vendor/bin directory.

The problem occurs due to shell misconfiguration when the hosting-queued tries to execute the su - $USER -- $DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS & from this file: /etc/rc.d/init.d/hosting-queued

The fix, in my case, is to alter the way we call the daemon to: su - $USER -c "$DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS" &

Disclaimer: this issue appeared on a messed up, dev VM, with Centos 6, apache 2.2, drush 8.1.2, mysql 5.5.49, aegir 3 and I cannot reproduce it on the production environment running RedHat.

I'm hesitant to add this...

1, it has worked for me in the apst
2, you say it now works

So could it be related to a fairly old Centos version?

On the other hand I don't mind adding it ... 1, it looks reasonable
2 I often use the Debian package which has a more Debian specific init script in privision/debian/aegir3- hostmaster.hosting-queued.init
and 3 the world is moving towards systemd service files.

The system is running the latest version of the 6.x branch:

$ cat /etc/*release*
CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

This happened on one of the systems I run and I don't know if the patch is the best practice for every Linux system.
So leaving the status to `Needs review` sound logical.

Closing for now ... as it's been a while and we have no confirmation that it's an issue on clean installations.

Please re-open if you see it again.
