Hi,
I've made a init.d-script to start and stop elasticsearch on Debian:
[http://gist.github.com/611351](http://gist.github.com/611351)
It doesn't use the service wrapper, but starts "elasticsearch"
directly with "start-stop-daemon".
Maybe it helps someone..
Comments welcome.
Sincerely

Looks great!, thanks for sharing. Can you maybe create a wiki page for it,
so it will get more visibility?

Ok,
So I've created a wiki page:
[GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch: Free and Open, Distributed, RESTful Search Engine](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/wiki/Setting-up-Elasticsearch-on-Debian)
But I didn't link to it from anywhere, maybe someone should review it
first.. 🙂

Hey,
Had a quick look, looks good. The only thing that I am concerned about is
apt-get of sun jre. If I am not mistaken, this intall the JVM only with the
Client HotSpot (you can check that with java -version). elasticsearch should
be run with the Server HotSpot, which I believe is the default when you
apt-get the sun-java6-jdk. Can you check this?

Hm,
# This is sun-java6-jre on Lenny:
# java -version
# java version "1.6.0\_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0\_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)
So, I guess it should be ok..
Sincerely
