Hi Nella:

The short answer is don't use start_all - there is a race condition
between the Perl and C services that in many cases will prevent the C
services from starting if you don't give the Perl services a few
seconds to initialize first. So try this instead:

sudo -u opensrf /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a stop_all

sudo -u opensrf /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_router

sudo -u opensrf /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_perl

sudo -u opensrf /openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a start_c
