I haven't seen any progress on this. I believe it's a pretty big problem for nifi 1.0.x not to be able to be properly control via provisioning tools and if you send commands via quick in and out ssh commands (for automation) the service fails to start.
Any progress plan on fixing this before the next release? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2163 -- Cheers, Edgardo
