This issue seems to describe exactly what you’re seeing: https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgeerlingguy%2Fansible-role-solr%2Fissues%2F142&data=05%7C02%7Cegadsby%40towson.edu%7Cdf3cc21efd814622194b08de31120152%7Ccbf9739249f649dda8a619f710efcc35%7C0%7C0%7C639002150741218564%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C60000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=52FmUct67lTPYDMviuT0m5aMo2yKIGi0U2lIv1LNz8o%3D&reserved=0<https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-solr/issues/142> However, as Dimitri already suggested, I’d recommend switching to a native systemd service for Solr instead of relying on the old init script.
