I appreciate your help and added those lines.  However it seems it 
didn't help.

urchin# ./urchin-server status
urchin_args=status: not found
urchin is not running.

However it is running:

urchin# /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status
Urchin webserver is running
Urchin MASTER scheduler is running
Urchin SLAVE scheduler is running

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Drew
