But this always fail. In the elasticsaerch logs i found the follow message:

Thanks, now if i want to start it with:
systemctl start elasticsearch.service
i got this:

Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

The status shows:

The journal show multiple messages with the follow content:

**pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=XXX.XXX.XXX.XX user=root**

That should be

sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
