Hi

I'm trying to run elasticsearch 5,4 manually by entering (exact line created by `service elasticsearch start`):  
`/usr/bin/java -Xms200m -Xmx200m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -server -Xss1m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djna.nosys=true -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true -Dio.netty.noUnsafe=true -Dio.netty.noKeySetOptimization=true -Dio.netty.recycler.maxCapacityPerThread=0 -Dlog4j.shutdownHookEnabled=false -Dlog4j2.disable.jmx=true -Dlog4j.skipJansi=true -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -cp /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/* org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch -d -p /var/run/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.pid -Edefault.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Edefault.path.data=/var/lib/elasticsearch -Edefault.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch`

Unfortunately it generates error mesage:  
`Error: Could not find or load main class .usr.share.elasticsearch.lib.HdrHistogram-2.1.9.jar`

Above execution command with parameters is identical to this which is created by:  
`service elasticsearch start`

With previous elasticsearch 5.3.2 it worked fine.

Any ideas how to run it manually?

How did you install ES?

I install it by just (ubuntu 14.04): `dpkg -i elasticsearch-5.4.0.deb`

After that `service elasticsearch start` works as expected but the same line executed manually generates error message:  
`Error: Could not find or load main class .usr.share.elasticsearch.lib.HdrHistogram-2.1.9.jar`

Problem solved, it's about quotation marks around `-cp` parameter, proper command looks like:  
`/usr/bin/java -Xms200m -Xmx200m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75 -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -server -Xss1m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djna.nosys=true -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true -Dio.netty.noUnsafe=true -Dio.netty.noKeySetOptimization=true -Dio.netty.recycler.maxCapacityPerThread=0 -Dlog4j.shutdownHookEnabled=false -Dlog4j2.disable.jmx=true -Dlog4j.skipJansi=true -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Des.path.home=/usr/share/elasticsearch -cp "/usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/*" org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch -d -p /var/run/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.pid -Edefault.path.logs=/var/log/elasticsearch -Edefault.path.data=/var/lib/elasticsearch -Edefault.path.conf=/etc/elasticsearch`

Thanks anyway.
