Kinesis agent not coming up on Linux system with /tmp noexec option

[chidambaranathan-karthikeyan]

Changed the java.io.tmpdir and SQLITE_TMPDIR. But still I see the SQLite creates temp files in /tmp. This /tmp directory is set as noexec.

This error goes away with removing noexec option on /tmp. But I do not want do this.

I didn't remount /tmp with noexec attr. Instead, I removed exec permission from /tmp directory, and observed UnsatisfiedLinkError error. However, setting java.io.tmpdir to the directory with exec permission fixed the issue.

You need to pass java.io.tmpdir as a JVM argument: -Djava.io.tmpdir=[directory-with-exec-permission].
