I used tar to install logstash, can you please help me with command.

Currently i am using ./bin/logstash -f /var/app/logstash-6.6.0/logstash-config.properties

Unix

Please be more specific about the platform and type of unix. As far as I know no parts of the Elastic stack is tested on any flavour of Unix so there is no guarantee it will work at all. I would recommend instead deploying it on a supported platform form, e.g. Linux on x86_64.

OK, so you are using Linux and not Unix. Then I would recommend you install it using RPM. It handles a lot of this for you.
