Logstash as service on red hat 5 error?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying to run logstash 1.4.1 as a service on my red hat 5.3. So I do
the following

rpm -ivh logstash-1.4.1-1_bd507eb.
noarch.rpm

when I run *service logstash start *it gives logstash started and when I
check *service logstash status *it gives logstash is not running.

I check /var/log/logstash/logstash.err and it has:

chroot: invalid option -- -Try `chroot --help' for more information.

You'd better ask on logstash mailing list IMO.

Best.

chroot on RHEL5 does not support --userspec.
