sure, but jps isnt pkill.<p>The point is you cant use binary name to make your way around anymore.  The binary name is &#x27;java&#x27;. Standard unix tools just don&#x27;t work. Yes there are work arounds, but over time things end up being just a little more complex than they should be.<p>Which means if someone is comparing zookeeper and etcd, well etcd wins major points for being unixy and easy to deploy. Copy 1 binary, done.  ZK loses major points here.  Gotta make sure the JVM is installed, but do you need the OpenJDK or the Oracle one? if the latter, well apt-get and yum are less helpful.<p>It&#x27;s all just little globs of annoying details that add up to be a small pain.  Nothing horrible, but if you could make a choice to avoid that, why not?<p>Basically I guess what I&#x27;m saying is there is probably a market for replacing all the Javay distsys stuff with Rust&#x2F;Go versions.  I mean look at etcd!
