I have installed elasticsearch 6.5.2 and I when I start this it gets shut down automatically. Here is the log
[https://gist.github.com/np97190/9904ac644ff43787ede677a747d9824d](https://gist.github.com/np97190/9904ac644ff43787ede677a747d9824d)
I could not find the exact reason why is it getting shut down.

The pertinent error is the first one in the log:
```auto

I did try this and the error is now gone but ES still shuts down.
Here is the log: [https://gist.github.com/np97190/d3dfe0c46ffbeb5c18e7c0c095a3046e](https://gist.github.com/np97190/d3dfe0c46ffbeb5c18e7c0c095a3046e)

It looks like it is cleanly shutting down because something external has asked it to.

Anything you would recommend looking for?
