Neeraj Jain 2f7206ada7 Use pkill to shutdown elasticsearch using pid file (#39135)
While running these commands from alias, facing issues using kill `cat pid`, In some situations, the more compact:
```
pkill -F /var/run/myProcess.pid
```
is the way to go.

==== Running as a daemon
To run Elasticsearch as a daemon, specify `-d` on the command line, and record
the process ID in a file using the `-p` option:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------
./bin/elasticsearch -d -p pid
--------------------------------------------
Log messages can be found in the `$ES_HOME/logs/` directory.
To shut down Elasticsearch, kill the process ID recorded in the `pid` file:
[source,sh]
--------------------------------------------
pkill -F pid
--------------------------------------------
NOTE: The startup scripts provided in the <<rpm,RPM>> and <<deb,Debian>>
packages take care of starting and stopping the Elasticsearch process for you.
