Hi there,
the reason is probably that the command

lsof

does not exist on CentOS. Could you take a look at the script and try
to make it run? I guess we need to check for the OS version, and then
do a switch to something else to achieve the effect that the lsof
block does ...

Cheers,

The command lsof exists but is sometimes not installed by default.

Can you try yum install lsof ?

You can usually find lsof in /usr/sbin. Just add /usr/sbin to your (neo4j) $PATH.

Cool,
thanks for the hint! If we can test this, maybe you guys can make a
pull request to the scripts, adding the lsof dir to the path?
