Description

Issue 1: When running the command "bin/nifi.sh install", it will setup the correct service file for you so that nifi will start on boot. When you look at the file, especially the "install" section:

install()

{ SVC_NAME=nifi if [ "x$2" != "x" ] ; then SVC_NAME=$2 fi SVC_FILE="/etc/init.d/$ {SVC_NAME}

"
cp "$0" "${SVC_FILE}"
sed -i s:NIFI_HOME=.*:NIFI_HOME="${NIFI_HOME}": "${SVC_FILE}"
sed -i s:PROGNAME=.*:PROGNAME="${SCRIPT_NAME}": "${SVC_FILE}"
rm -f "/etc/rc2.d/S65${SVC_NAME}

"
ln -s "/etc/init.d/$

{SVC_NAME}" "/etc/rc2.d/S65${SVC_NAME}

"
rm -f "/etc/rc2.d/K65${SVC_NAME}

"
ln -s "/etc/init.d/${SVC_NAME}

" "/etc/rc2.d/K65$

{SVC_NAME}

"
echo "Service ${SVC_NAME}

installed"
}

The problem above is that the startup and shutdown files (the "S" and "K" files) are created in a directory "/etc/rc2.d", however this directory exists only on RHEL. On SUSE this directory is slightly different, /etc/init.d/rc2.d

So when attempting to setup the services file (for bootup purposes), the above command fails on SUSE. Worse, no error checking is performed and it will actually print a successful message!
