[vox-tech] Strange server behavior

As far as I can tell, they're the same.

$ /space/usr/jrun/bin/jrun start admin

In the script, it's

/usr/bin/su cfusion "${JRUN_HOME}/bin/jrun $1 $jrun_params 2>&1

where $JRUN_HOME = /space/usr/jrun and $jrun_params = admin.

As far as I can tell, the relevant env. vars that would need to be set up
in the root environment are the same for the cfusion user.  I'll
double-check though.

It would indeed.  I've made such groaners before.  But I don't think
that's the problem in this case.
