Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-3112:
-----------------------------------

Bootstrap isn't simply kicking off NiFi then going silent.  It needs to remain 
to observe and monitor the nifi process itself and exists to initiate restarts 
if need be.  We used to use the Java Service Wrapper for this sort of thing and 
it was great but unfortunately its licensing became problematic.  I think we 
just need to make minor adjustments to bootstrap to behave in a more common 
manner but retain its goals/purpose for NiFi.

> When running  "nifi.sh start" errors that occur in the bootstrap are routed 
> to dev/null

> The commit added in this PR[1] makes it so any errors that occur in the 
> bootstrap during a "start" command will get routed to dev/null and it will 
> silently fail. Nothing is logged to the bootstrap log either. If you do the 
> "run" command it will work as expected and show the error.
