Refactor tools/init.d scripts
-----------------------------
Key: CHUKWA-446
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-446
Project: Hadoop Chukwa
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Bill Graham
1. The scripts try to write lock files to /var/lock/subsys, which is owned by
root. We should change this location to be somewhere that doesn't require root
access.
2. The actual run command does an su to the CHUKWA_USER which also caused
problems for us. It seems like it would be cleaner to not embed the su calls in
the script, but instead allow the user to su when they run the script (which
worked much better for us). That way everything done by the script would be
done by the same user.
3. Each script has CHUKWA_HOME, CHUKWA_CONF_DIR and CHUKWA_USER hard coded.
Hard coded defaults is ok, but the ability to override them without modifying
the scripts would be ideal.
