The "bin/solr" script was introduced in version 4.10, but I think the service install script did not appear until 5.0. Between 4.10 and 5.0, Solr's directory structure and the start/install scripts underwent a fairly extensive reorganization. Further reorganization and improvements have happened in later 5.x releases. Getting the init script working properly with 4.x will involve a lot of work to figure out what is different in 4.x and adjust the script. There's no formal documentation that you can look at to describe what those differences are. The work was handled in multiple Jira issues, and some of it may not be documented at all, other than commits to the source code repository. Thanks, Shawn
