Most likely the server was shut down without shutting down the OpenSRF
services first, and the old PID files are lying around.

Try:

rm -f /openils/var/run/*pid
osrf_ctl.sh -l -a start_all

... and see if that clears up the problem. 

It's common enough that we should build a hint on how to resolve the
problem right into the error message (and probably return non-0 from
do_action() so that we don't try and go ahead and start the router
anyway).
