openSUSE - RPM error - missing /etc/rc.c/init.d/functions

[putztzu]

Although on an openSUSE, is likely a problem for the RPM on any distro

From "systemctl status packetbeat.service"
Sep 20 04:42:27 ELK-13-2 packetbeat[5013]: /etc/init.d/packetbeat: line 34: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or directory

And checking the location, indeed there is no "functions" file at that location

While we don't officially support opensuse, we should fix the init script so that it works on as many distros as possible. Just FYI, the init scripts are supposed to work on the RedHat family and are tested on CentOS.

It should be possible to work around it by editing the init script, I expect the binaries to work.

Support for SUSE is now being tracked in #737.

@putztzu with the latest version, the RPM includes a systemd unit file. Can please you retest with the newest version and report whether it works on openSUSE? If so we can close this issue.

I checked on opensuse as part of #737. This seems to work fine now.
