Elias Levy commented on FLINK-4326:
-----------------------------------
Greg's proposal for {{flink-console.sh}} will do. The one thing I would change
is putting {{exec}} in front of {{$JAVA_RUN}} in {{flink-console.sh}}.
> Flink start-up scripts should optionally start services on the foreground

> Key: FLINK-4326
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4326
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Startup Shell Scripts
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Reporter: Elias Levy
>
> This has previously been mentioned in the mailing list, but has not been
> addressed. Flink start-up scripts start the job and task managers in the
> background. This makes it difficult to integrate Flink with most processes
> supervisory tools and init systems, including Docker. One can get around
> this via hacking the scripts or manually starting the right classes via Java,
> but it is a brittle solution.
> In addition to starting the daemons in the foreground, the start up scripts
> should use exec instead of running the commends, so as to avoid forks. Many
> supervisory tools assume the PID of the process to be monitored is that of
> the process it first executes, and fork chains make it difficult for the
> supervisor to figure out what process to monitor. Specifically,
> jobmanager.sh and taskmanager.sh should exec flink-daemon.sh, and
> flink-daemon.sh should exec java.
