Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-1581:
------------------------------------------
This looks useful, but before we can commit this, could you please elaborate on
what are the typical use cases of running multiple flume agents on the same
host? My biggest concern is wasting resources on JVM per agent.
> Allow multiple Flume agents to be executed as a service using Bigtop init.d
> script

> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Init scripts
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.7.0, 0.8.0
> Reporter: Biju Nair
> Labels: features
> Fix For: backlog, 0.8.0, 0.9.0, 1.0.0

> Attachments: flume-agent.init

>
> Using the current init.d script only one Flume agent can be managed as a
> service. In practice there will be more than one Flume agent on a node which
> need be managed. If the init.d script can be improved to accept a agent name
> for the service requests (start|stop|restart|...) and manage them it will
> help many installations.
