Well perhaps that is inaccurate: 'ps -ef' showed several processes with a status message of "waiting to startup" (or something similar; sorry, I was late-night coding and didn't think to write it down).

Hm, I don't recall any such status message in the code. Can you double
check what it said exactly?

What do you mean by "could not get a connection" ... did it fail (if so,
with what client-side error message) or just hang up waiting?
