[PetiteCloud] Petitecloud not starting?

[Michael Thoreson]

Perhaps add that to the documentation. It may be adviseable to add 
checking that required services are running (Tomcat\Apache) to the 
startup routine as well checking for creation of the files you listed 
before saying PC started successfully. Later more advanced features of 
the checking could also including enabling the services in rc.conf or 
issuing a "onestart" command to the services before starting PC.

While PC doesn't have a daemon right now, perhaps adding a daemon for 
monitoring and stats collection should be considered.
