Hi All,

I've installed Elasticsearch 7 on CentOS 7, I faced a problem when I try to start it.  
Sometimes it's work fine, then it's failed !  
Please find the following code ;

```auto

Hi Friend,

It's worked by this  
ES\_JAVA\_OPTS="-Djna.tmpdir=/var/lib/Elasticsearch/tmp"

But why it's stopped many times ? each time I should put the following code  
sudo systemctl start Elasticsearch.service

Could you please help me ?
