My  bad  on this one. The server that still has the startup scripts is
not   running   the   latest   versions.   The  versions  running  are
compat4x-i386-5.3_2 and compat5x-i386-5.4.0.6_1.

There  is  anther  server here that is running compat5x-i386-5.4.0.8_7
and  does not have a startup script. It still works fine. I'm guessing
the other response that made mention where the startup scripts are not
needed anymore on the later version would stand correct.
