thank you very much Norbert ! I take your useful suggestion, and try to launch zookeeper with your
service file. Great thank, Adrien ________________________________ De : Norbert Kalmar <nkal...@cloudera.com.INVALID> Envoyé : lundi 16 juillet 2018 16:18:36 À : user@zookeeper.apache.org Objet : Re: zookeeper as systemd Some prefer to use start-foreground to basically "bypass" the bash script (and the background management), and make systemd care about it. Also to ignore any nohup. So while it is also my understanding that the recommended way is to start ZK with simple start, some use start-foreground to start as a systemd service. Type=simple - drawback is depending services (if any) will not know if it is truly ready (sockets as well) Type=forking - drawback is there might be some issues with the PID (file). So you should also define where the pid file is: PIDFILE="/var/run/zookeeper/zookeeper_server.pid" Any combinations should work. It really comes down to preferans I think. Disclaimer: I'm kind of trying to make educated guesses here, so a Linux-slash-zookeeper guru could probably be more of a help here :) This is how I would create systemd service file (this time using start not start-foreground) - or something like that: Put the systemd service file in: /etc/systemd/system/zookeeper.service [Unit] Description=Zookeeper After=network.target syslog.target [Service] SyslogIdentifier=zookeeper TimeoutStartSec=10min Type=forking User=zookeeper Group=zookeeper PIDFILE="/var/run/zookeeper/zookeeper_server.pid" ExecStart=/usr/lib/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh start ExecStop=/usr/lib/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh stop WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/zookeeper [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Of course not everything is required (User, Group, WorkingDirectory possibly optional) But I would dig deeper before saying anything for sure.
