Great! Thanks for resolving this one.

> Key: KAFKA-2031
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2031
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: packaging
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Manikandan Narayanaswamy
> Priority: Minor
>
> Kafka-run-class.sh script expects LOG_DIR variable to be set, and if this
> variable is not set, it defaults log dir to $base_dir/logs. And in the event
> the executor of the script does not have the right permissions, it would lead
> to errors such as:
> {noformat}
> mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/kafka/bin/../logs': Permission
> denied.
> {noformat}
> Proposing one way to make this more configurable is by introducing
> kafka-env.sh. Sourcing this file would export LOG_DIR and potentially other
> variables if need be.
