==== 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
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have password-protected the {es} keystore, you will be prompted
|
|
to enter the keystore's password. See <<secure-settings>> for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
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.
