title: Unable to start a flume-ng agent
body: <p>I am trying to get started with flume-ng and following user guide at: <a href="http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html" rel="nofollow">http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I am running this command after setting up an in-memory agent as a simple test:</p>
  
  <pre><code>flume-ng agent -c /usr/local/cellar/flume-ng/1.2.0-cdh4.1.0/libexec/conf -f /usr/local/cellar/flume-ng/1.2.0-cdh4.1.0/libexec/conf/flume-netcat.conf -n a1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following output which obviously does not indicate that it has started. 
  Can someone tell me what's going on. I searched online but could not find much.</p>
