Runuser: unrecognized option '--pidfile'

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I keep getting this error when using the init script. The error i receive
is:

Starting elasticsearch: runuser: unrecognized option '--pidfile'
Try `runuser --help' for more information.
[FAILED]

The line of code in the init script:
daemon --user $ES_USER --pidfile $pidfile $exec -p $pidfile -d
-Des.default.path.home=$ES_HOME -Des.default.path.logs=$LOG_DIR
-Des.default.path.data=$DATA_DIR -Des.default.path.work=$WORK_DIR
-Des.default.path.conf=$CONF_DIR

I tried removing "--pidfile $pidfile" but no luck. Seems like elasticsearch
isn't creating the pid file from startup. I made sure the
/var/run/elasticsearch/ directory exists. Works just fine from startup from
bin/elasticsearch. I have 3 other nodes running the same init script in the
same setup that run successfully. Im running on RHEL 6.2. Any help is
appreciated.

Thanks,
Joey
