[Box-Admins] source.squeak.org startup issue resolved?

In preparation for our chat later today regarding SqueakSource issues I should note that late yesterday I seem to have stumbled onto a (I say 'A') solution for the issue we have had with source.squeak.org where supervise (daemontools) was not able to start, or at least keep running, the source.squeak.org instance.

I 'fixed' it by modifying the run script so that it refers directly to the VM executable (under /usr/local/lib/) rather than use the shell script in /usr/local/bin/. I don't understand why this fixed it, I don't understand why it ever broke. In fact I'm pretty sure I tried this before to no effect.

Confused,

Ken
