Can't see Elasticsearch daemon

Question

I'm trying to run elasticsearch as a daemon on a server.

I have run this command:

./bin/elasticsearch -d -p somefilename

but I can't find any proof of the daemon actually running, since ps -e | grep elastic ps -e | grep elastic does not produce any output. How can I see the process?

Answer 1

Elasticsearch runs on JVM. to see the PID of elasticsearch, you can use "jps" command.

with "ps ef" , only you can see java related process.

if you insist on using ps you can try this:

ps axms |grep -i elasticsearch

"axms" option show the details of all process.
