How are you starting Flume? What platform / environment are you running on? Did you write your own init scripts or are you using a vendor Hadoop distribution (i.e. Cloudera) or something else (i.e. directly using Bigtop)? On Linux, if you are writing your own init scripts then running Flume via nohup might help with the signal handling.
