Failed to Start on FreeBSD

[maxjust]

Hello everybody, I have an error then I try to start wrapper via service utility under freeBSD 9.0 x64

My steps are:

1. clone service directory to /opt/elasticsearch/bin/
2. cd /opt/elasticsearch/bin/service
3. ee ./elasticsearch.conf
4. set.default.ES_HOME=/opt/elasticsearch
5. ./elasticsearch install
6. cd / (for clean experiment)
7. service elasticsearch start
   and I have this:
   Starting ElasticSearch...
   Waiting for ElasticSearch........................
   WARNING: ElasticSearch may have failed to start.

but if I make this:
/opt/elasticsearch/bin/service/elasticsearch start
Starting ElasticSearch...
Waiting for ElasticSearch.......
running: PID:1838

everything is fine. But I need working service way, for autostarting in boot time

PS: Sorry for me English...

hi
elasticsearch use bash in start script, and in freeBSD bash path different with Debian distribution.
To solve this problem make a link to correct path of bash in FreeBSD. To this purpose run this command in termianl:
root@bsd:~# ln -sf /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash

other solution i guess for your problem Elasticsearch will not start if ${prompt.text} or ${prompt.secret} is used in the settings and the process is run as a service or in the background.
