logstash version: 5.4.1  
OS version: CentOS6.6

Refer to the official guide, it seems that there is a auto-generated configuration file at `/etc/init.d/logstash`.

I installed logstash with RMP package, but there is no a init script in `/etc/init.d/`.

```auto
# bin/system-install
Successfully created system startup script for Logstash

```

I followed the official guide here:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.5/config-setting-files.html#\_settings\_files](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.5/config-setting-files.html#_settings_files)
