The above command now runs elasticsearch properly.

It doesn't appear that /etc/init.d/elasticsearch works, however. It
appears to die immediately on start; a second invocation also states
that it is started (rather than finding the PID and stating that it is
already running). This is with unchanged configuration files; is there
something that needs to be modified (and if so, could this be documented
in the output of the init script, please)?
