Starting a spark streaming app in init.d

[Ashic Mahtab]

Hello,
I'm trying to kick off a spark streaming job to a stand alone master using 
spark submit inside of init.d. This is what I have:


DAEMON="spark-submit --class Streamer --executor-memory 500M 
--total-executor-cores 4 /path/to/assembly.jar"

start() {
        $DAEMON -p /var/run/my_assembly.pid &
        echo "OK" &&
        return 0
}

However, will return 0 even if spark_submit fails. Is there a way to run 
spark-submit in the background and return 0 only if it successfully starts up? 
Or better yet, is there something in spark-submit that will allow me to do 
this, perhaps via a command line argument?

Thanks,
Ashic.
