[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-5306) Official init.d scripts

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5306?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16387300#comment-16387300 ] 

Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-5306:
----------------------------------------------

I think the challenge here is that these vary from distro to distro. Some use systemd, some are still on init.d; installation paths, config files, etc would vary between distros. And some distros prefer having their own builds from src using their own conventions vs using binaries from upstream. Given the myriad distributions, I'm not sure how this would be maintainable other than a super flexible, customizable script, and even then I'm not sure it could cover differences such as systemd vs init.d. Any ideas as to how this could scale out for the variety of distros?
