> [@bmovva61](#): > > "Expected one of #, input, filter, output at line 17, column 1 (byte 407) after #!/bin/bash\n# Run logstash This suggests that you have put the script used to run logstash in path.config and that path.config points to a directory, so it is reading every file in the directory. Note also that it is pipelines.yml (plural) but logstash will ignore that until you remove the -f from the command line when you start it. ---

In NSSM, Path is the command that is run. Arguments are passed to the command that is run. You do not want -f and a filename in your arguments. ---
