It’s running from system d so I assume the system is running the process as 
root.   If I add .sh to the end of the script and running it via sudo it fires 
right up but will not reload from System d.

Dear Friends,

Good afternoon.  We are spinning up Solr on a Rocky 9.5 machine and can’t get 
the init service to start.   We get the following error:

"× solr.service - LSB: Controls Apache Solr as a Service
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/solr; generated)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2025-12-01 13:21:28 EST; 6min

We installed using the provided script and other then that hasn’t made any 
changes.  Any and all ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
