Description

In my particular case we use Zabbix as a monitoring tool and it requires an agent to run in the JVM. so the solution is to start the agent, then call CassandraDaemon.main.

my solution for a more generic "bin/cassandra" script is to check if a CLASSNAME is provided in the environment. if so use it, if not use the default CassandraDaemon.

patch attached.
