ok - and when it runs as a daemon/service it runs as the elasticsearch user.
When I installed it, using yum, I used sudo yum install elasticsearch which means that root owns the files. I guess this is standard? 2. If I want it to run interactively should I sudo and run it? Sorry for the dumb quesitons - linux skills are very rusty....
