Please, ANSWER this question AT http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28992484/cygnus-install-on-localhost

Question:
Cygnus install on localhost

Description:
By following this guide

https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-connectors/blob/master/flume/doc/quick_start_guide.md

I tried to use

/usr/cygnus/bin/cygnus-flume-ng agent --conf /usr/cygnus/conf/ -f /usr/cygnus/conf/agent_1.conf -n cygnusagent -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console

But I got this error

And besides this error. I use service cygnus status and start correctly.

I change the port to 8085 8084 8083 ... see that he read the conf and ignore this conf ...

[root@alex alex]# /usr/cygnus/bin/cygnus-flume-ng agent --conf /usr/cygnus/conf -f /usr/cygnus/conf/cygnus_instance_1.conf -n cygnusagent -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console [-p 8085]
