Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-4264: ---------------------------------------------- Is this actually true? The kafka-server-start.sh script has {{kafka.Kafka}} in it as that is the class it executes: https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/bin/kafka-server-start.sh#L44 I agree this approach isn't ideal (a pid file would probably be a better solution), but it seems like this currently works ok. Is it possible the `kafka.Kafka` output is omitted in your case due to a long command line that pushes it past the length of output provided by {{ps}}? I've just tested locally and it is working fine here. > kafka-server-stop.sh fails is Kafka launched via kafka-server-start.sh > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4264 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4264 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: tools > Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1 > Environment: Tested in Debian Jessy > Reporter: Alex Schmitz > Priority: Trivial > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > kafka-server-stop.sh greps for the process ID to kill with the following: > bq.
