Hello everyone, I've read about running solr as a service but I don't understand what it really means.
I went through the "Taking solr to production" documentation on the wiki which suggests that solr be installed using the script provided and run as a service. >From what I could glean, the script creates a directory structure and sets various environment variables and then starts solr using the service command. How is this different from setting up solr manually and starting solr using `./solr start`? Currently in my project, we start solr as a process using the `./` Is this something that should be avoided and if so why? Additionally, and I know that this is not the right place to ask, yet if someone could explain what the service command actually does, that would be great. I've read a few articles and they say that it runs the init script in as predictable an environment as possible, but what does that mean? Thanks -- Regards, Binoy Dalal
