Does Kafka have an official way (e.g. an init.d script) to start Kafka on system start up?
The only official method to start Kafka I have seen is:
nohup ~/kafka/bin/kafka-server-start.sh ~/kafka/config/server.properties > ~/kafka/kafka.log 2>&1 &I have tried to use a @reboot task in crontab -e however it did not start Kafka. Some people have also written custom init.d
There are also custom init.d scripts available (e.g. one, two, three) however they are all different and I am not familiar enough with init.d to understand which one, if any to implement.
How to start Kafka on system startup?
