Because there are several other functions available via
NetworkServerControl like trace on/off, ping, runtimeinfo etc.

I wasn't worried too much about supporting MKS although I suppose it
would be possible without too much trouble. Checked in a fix to
derby_common.sh to allow running with MKS.

Hmm. There was a question about this during the review of DERBY-1223,
since there was a note concerning setting the executable bit on the
scripts in the Getting Started guide. Kim Haase and I just tested this
out the other day from a distribution I built and could not reproduce
this on a Linux box. But now, unzipping the 10.2.1.3-beta zip on OS X,
I see this problem as well. I haven't checked the .tar.gz yet.

Yes, and it appears to be a problem with line endings, although I
thought that by not setting the svn:eol-style native property in svn
on the Unix scripts, and then checking them in from a Unix box, that
we wouldn't encounter line ending problems with these files.

I'm wondering why I'm not seeing these problems when I build the
distributions. Rick, what platform are you building the distributions
on?
