Description

Output from bin scripts executed in init scripts is not shown on console during execution. Showing that output would lead to easier diagnosis of problems with launching of processes.

For example,

/etc/init.d/accumulo-master start

does not show the output of

sudo -u accumulo /usr/lib/accumulo/bin/accumulo master --address <host ip>

The only output when it failed was the message "Failed", which masked the root cause (in my case, out of memory).
