Hi,

I have installed elasticsearch-2.2.1 by downloading the tarball and extracting. I usually start it by running the bin/elasticsearch script. I need to set this up as a service. I know this would have being easier if I used yum to install the RPM. But can anyone direct me to a up to date wrapper script ? Most of the things are either obsolete or works only in debian.

Thanks
