Systemd Zookeeper service failed

Question

I've created the following systemd service script for running Zookeeper using Ansible:

[Unit]
Description=ZooKeeper

[Service]
User=root
Type=forking
User=zookeeper
Group=zookeeper
ExecStart=/tmp/zookeeper-3.4.9/bin/zkServer.sh start
ExecStop=/tmp/zookeeper-3.4.9/bin/zkServer.sh stop

TimeoutSec=300

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target 

But, while trying to run the script using sudo service zookeeper start I get the following error:

Nov 15 22:00:35 sharedservicesprovider systemd[1]: Starting ZooKeeper...

Any hint onto why I am unable to start Zookeeper properly since I'm quite new to system services?

Maybe so late... but use as ExecStart:

/tmp/zookeeper-3.4.9/bin/zkServer.sh start-foreground
