Noticed an error on logstash server while running chef-client.  
Chef is failing due to this error "Error executing action `run` on resource 'bash[shutdown logstash]' "

` Recipe: tmo-logstash::default

- bash[logstash\_fix\_perms] action run

- bash[shutdown logstash] action run  
[execute] kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]

Recipe: filebeat::config

- service[filebeat] action start (up to date)

Running handlers:  
Running handlers complete  
Chef Client failed. 4 resources updated in 40 seconds  
`

Can someone help me why this error is appearing.?

Thanks  
Manoj Kumar`
