KAFKA-3742: Can't run bin/connect-*.sh with -daemon flag ## Problem Current connect scripts (`connect-distributed.sh`, `connect-standalone.sh`) do not support `-daemon` flag even if users specify the flag since `kafka-run-class.sh` requires that the`-daemon` flag should precede other arguments (e.g. class name) ## Solution Do the same thing like `kafka-server-start.sh` - Parse a command - Add `-daemon` to `$EXTRA_ARGS` if exists You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/1ambda/kafka KAFKA-3742-connect-running-as-daemon Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1717.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #1717 ---- commit cecc8578fdb178630f5918fd4de47c556e13b286 Author: 1ambda <1am...@gmail.com> Date: 2016-08-10T10:52:15Z Support ''-daemon' in connect-*.sh ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
