Running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, the logstash init script does not work.
here's the script that came with logstash deb
In particular I don't understand how the script is trying to parse
something from the logstash pid, before it even starts the program..?
log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC"
# Parse the actual JAVACMD from the process' environment, we don't
care about errors.
JAVA=$(cat /proc/$(cat "${PID_FILE}" 2>/dev/null)/environ 2>/dev/null
| grep -z ^JAVACMD= | cut -d= -f2)
if start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile "$PID_FILE"
--user "$LS_USER" --exec "$JAVA"
>/dev/null; then
# Prepare environment
I checked and JAVA is empty at this location, so what the heck is this
trying to do?
running this bit:
sudo start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile /var/run/logstash.pid
--user "logstash" --exec ""
results in the same message i get at the commandline when trying to
/etc/init.d/logstash start
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat (No such file or directory)
Please advise.
Full init script pasted below
#!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/logstash -- startup script for LogStash.
