Greetings,
I wrote a bash script that finds CSV files in specified folders and pipes them into logstash. However when running this script I run into the following error, saying that the shutdown process is stalled, causing an infinite loop until I manually stop it with ctrl+c:

When I run the same file and the same config manually with bash logtsash -f xyz.config < myfile.config it works as desired and the process gets properly terminated. In the bash script I'm basically using the exact command and I run into the error above.
I also noticed that the problem appears to be random an not every time on the same file and config.
My config consists of a stdin input a csv filter and for testing an output in json format to a file.
Does anybody have an idea why my process stalls during script execution? Or if not, is there maybe a way to tell logstash to shutdown when it's stalled?
