Running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, the logstash init script does not work.

here's the script that came with logstash deb

In particular I don't understand how the script is trying to parse 
something from the logstash pid, before it even starts the program..?

      log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC"

      # Parse the actual JAVACMD from the process' environment, we don't 
care about errors.
      JAVA=$(cat /proc/$(cat "${PID_FILE}" 2>/dev/null)/environ 2>/dev/null 
| grep -z ^JAVACMD= | cut -d= -f2)
      if start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile "$PID_FILE" \
         --user "$LS_USER" --exec "$JAVA" \
      >/dev/null; then
         # Prepare environment

I checked and JAVA is empty at this location, so what the heck is this 
trying to do?


running this bit:
sudo start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile /var/run/logstash.pid 
--user "logstash" --exec ""

results in the same message i get at the commandline when trying to 
/etc/init.d/logstash start
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat  (No such file or directory)


Please advise.
