After adding this script (instead of opt/kafka using: opt/kafka_2.11-0.9.0.1), I have tried running this by : /etc/init.d/zookeeper-kafka and it worked fine, possible running abilities of kafka.
After reboot centos, the process hung for about half of an hour, almost seems that linux server has crashed (why such long time - maybe the recursive function. Where is the log, anywhere, I can check out).

Also, the script doesn't seems to work properly.
I see that server is up (by the example on: [(https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-apache-kafka-on-centos-7)], the command: bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181 works and return list of "test", but if I am doing from the same example: bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test, and run another session, trying receiving the messages, I get an infinite error display:

What may be the reason for that?
