Description

The debian init script released in 2.0.1 contains 2 issues:

1. The pidfile directory is not created if it doesn't already exist.
2. Classpath not exported to the start-stop-daemon.

These lead to the init script not picking up jna.jar, or anything from the debian EXTRA_CLASSPATH environment variable, and the init script not being able to stop/restart Cassandra.

Issue Links

• duplicates: CASSANDRA-6240 CLASSPATH logic from init script is unused, JNA isn't loaded
• is duplicated by: CASSANDRA-6239 pidfile is never written, "/etc/init.d/cassandra stop" fails
