Thanks Erick, Silly oversight on my part. I went into the admin panel and used the core selector to view information about the core and it was running. I did some more thinking about it and restarted solr and looked at the core admin panel where I could see that the startTime was "-".
So the problem is operator error. I didn't think about how the core selector actually sends a query to the core to get stats, which of course starts the core.
