These days, with the Shepherd 0.9.3, the stdout/stderr or nginx is
captured in /var/log/messages when it starts.  That should make it
easier to debug startup failures.

If you don’t have more info on this bug Raghav (it’s been some time…), I
suggest we close it.

I wonder how we could address that.
