Failed to start ES 2.1.1

[tonylwj]

as a fresher on ES, I meet the same problem ( lowercase 'ElasticsearchF ', yet ):

download the package, unzip to %ES_Home%/bin
edit elasticsearch.conf：
set.default.ES_HOME=/home/lwj/elasticsearch-2.1.1

cd to %ES_Home%/bin/service/, and run: ./elasticsearch start

[yarn@hpblade04 service]$ ./elasticsearch start
Starting Elasticsearch...
Waiting for Elasticsearch...............................
WARNING: Elasticsearch may have failed to start

Then I found these message in /home/lwj/elasticsearch-2.1.1/logs/service.log :
STATUS | wrapper | 2016/01/25 17:34:56 | Launching a JVM...
INFO | jvm 1 | 2016/01/25 17:34:56 | WrapperManager: Initializing...

anything needed to run service ?

I also found that it fail to start ES 2.2.0

so I write a simple script througth the 'nohup' and 'kill' , temporarily.

[yarn@hpblade08 elasticsearch-2.1.1]$ cat start.sh

echo === to start ===
echo --- check before: ps -ef |grep elastic|grep search --
ps -ef |grep elastic|grep search |cut -c 10-14
echo --- to start ---
nohup /home/lwj/elasticsearch-2.1.1/bin/elasticsearch > /home/lwj/elasticsearch-2.1.1/logs/elasticsearch.log 2>&1 &
echo --- pid ---
ps -ef |grep elastic|grep search |cut -c 10-14
echo ---- sleep 9 to wait and show log -----
sleep 9
tail -n 20 /home/lwj/elasticsearch-2.1.1/logs/elasticsearch.log
ps -ef |grep elastic|grep search |cut -c 10-14
echo === done ====

[yarn@hpblade08 elasticsearch-2.1.1]$ cat stop.sh

echo ---- to stop this ---
ps -ef |grep elas |grep searc
echo ---- cut pid ----
ps -ef |grep elastic|grep search |cut -c 10-14

for kibana or etc(by change the vars).

[yarn@hpblade08 kibana-4.3.1]$ cat start.sh
xpath=/home/lwj/kibana-4.3.1
xname=kibana
xlog=logs/$xname.log
xgr1=$xname

echo === to start ===
echo --- check before: ps -ef |grep $xgr1 |grep $xgr2 --

nohup $xpath/bin/$xname > $xpath/$xlog 2>&1 &
echo --- pid ---

I don't understand how to solve
