Init Script + Existing PID File

[bassrock]

It seems like the init script has issues dealing with an existing PID file. When restarting elastic search I get the following error:

==> default: [2015-01-12T11:40:54-08:00] INFO: service[elasticsearch] started
==> default: [2015-01-12T11:40:54-08:00] INFO: ark[elasticsearch] sending restart action to service[elasticsearch] (delayed)

Hello! We've re-written the cookbook using libraries that expose resources and providers, and we also plan on fix the init script further in #321. Hope this helps! I'm going to close this so we track init script fixes/issues in #321, if that's okay. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks -- could you try the 2.0.0_wip branch of this cookbook, and report back any issues in #321? It has the same init scripts now as the packaged version of ES; it's our goal to release a 2.0.0 version that works with ES 2.0.0. It does have some changes from the current version, but depending on how complex your resource usage is, you may or may not be affected. Thanks!
