Guarding from double-start

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

There were a couple of times during development workflow I have started ES
script the second time. It results in red status (I use Elastic HQ) and
not-working. So I'm forced to regenerate all indexes (with all test data)
again. It takes noticeable time.

At the moment I use this script

ES_MAX_MEM="512M"
export ES_MAX_MEM
cd /ES-dir/bin
./elasticsearch.in.sh
./elasticsearch -f &

under Linux to start ES. Can you. please, suggest a trick to avoid falling
in red?

use start-stop-daemon or adapt /etc/init.d/elasticsearch to set up pidfile
guarding es instance. Or just run this way:
pgrep -f elasticsearch || ./start_es.sh

You can either use the startup scripts that come with the package when you
install via apt/yum [1] or use the service wrapper [2].

Aha, thanks! - at my case pgrep is the most appropriate.

And in your config file, set:

node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1

that way you won't start two nodes on a single instance
