Not to jump on this, as I have already asked this question in other public forums and blogged it, but I have to echo Cam's sentiments. I still have not however, gotten any sort of explanation.
We are using the multiserver version in production now, and are having great success with it so far. (I work for a Fortune 100 media company.) I don't understand this on three levels: 1) Every other version of CF ships with some sort of boot time startup. 2) If we are to write our own startup scripts, it would be helpful to at least have some documentation of the preferred or recommended syntax, or for the documentation to tell us that we need to do this. Even with access to some serious Linux gurus, it felt odd cobbling something together. If I have missed documentation of the command line syntax somewhere on the MM site, please point me to it. 3) A Macromedia representative pointing people to scripts that someone has "gotten to work" seems a tad slipshod considering the market that this version would appeal to. Incidentally, the one thing we find ourselves missing the most is cfstat, which we can run from the command line on the single server version and is very helpful for troubleshooting server issues. Is there some equivalent command line tool for JRun or for the multiserver version of CF? I looked for documentation of this, but got nowhere.
