Oy.  Good catch.  I just tried it and yes, it does work.

Yeah.  Oddly enough, it indicates no errors or anything else going wrong.

I tried to start it up again straight from the command line, by invoking

# ./S51jrun start

It's working... kind of.  Maybe one try out of ten, I get the page I'm
looking for; most of the time I get an error message telling me that the
object I'm looking for does not exist.

I'm beginning to think now that the problem has to do with Jrun talking to
Apache.

$ cd /etc/rc3.d
$ ls -l

One thing that I noticed (probably unrelated to this issue) is that
S51jrun is a script in this directory, and not a link to a script in
init.d.  I thought that the best practice was to write all of your scripts
in init.d and then link to them from the other rcX directories as
necessary?
