Description

Currently if you symlink to nifi.sh the start script will not work because $0 doesn't evaluate to the physical location and the script assumes bootstrap.conf is relative to the script.

This means you can't, for example, symlink nifi.sh to /etc/init.d and use the respective service commands to control NiFi.

Adding realpath or readlink to the script should fix this.
