I am wondering if that server has both launchd and SystemStarter
controlling (or, rather, trying to) WebObjects.
"Both Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X Server 10.4 have a new, more
reliable mechanism for keeping applications running. It is called
"launchd". It supersedes the "SystemStarter" and "watchdog"
processes of previous systems. See the man pages launchd(8) and
launchctl(1) for more information. The Server Admin application
uses the files at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.wotaskd.plist and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.womonitor.plist to configure the wotaksd and JavaMonitor
applications; and launchd keeps the apps running, based on the
information in these files. The scripts which formerly restarted
the wotaskd or JavaMonitor process after a restart are no longer
needed and can be deleted. The launchd process will launch these
applications after restart for you and restart them if they crash
for any reason. If you want to change the way the wotaksd and
JavaMonitor applications are managed, that can be done with the
facilities provided by launchd and its associated tools."
Check the file /System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/WebObjects
and ensure all the wotaskd and JavaMonitor startup lines are
commented out.
They were not. So, I backed them up elsewhere and then deleted
them, rebooted the server, and... it didn't work; I had to stop/
start the service and then start the apps from within Monitor. But,
I was able to stop and start the service from within ServerAdmin as
Tim mentioned in an earlier post. I guess I'll focus on the logging
issues now...
Whoa, I spoke too soon. Just as I finished up sending the above
response, I went back in to Monitor to start the rest of the apps,
and they were all there; running nicely.

Jackpot! That worked. Now, if only to figure out what the heck is
actually going on. At least it's good to know that. I didn't know
they'd folded some wo stuff into serveradmin. Thanks very much to
all who helped out. Hmm, maybe it's time to look at container
deployment a bit more closely.

This morning I started my week with all our production apps
down. I'm able to log into Monitor, but when I try to start
instances, the lever keeps going and going, no deaths, and I
can't move it beyond this state. There was nothing in /var/log/
webobjects, so I rm'd it, then sudo touch logwebobjects, but
still nothing. Restarts haven't helped. Monitor seems to be
completely unresponsive. Where should I start?
I have a similar situation on an Xserve I'm administering that I
couldn't track down so far. Apps simply won't start after a
reboot. Using...
serveradmin stop webobjects
serveradmin start webobjects
...fixes the problem reliably - until the next reboot/shutdown.
That's WO 5.2.4 on OSXS 10.4.6. Not a cure, but maybe a workaround?
HTH,
