...and so do I.

Have a look at the logfile, or try starting the app by copying all 
parameters from the apps instance detail view to the commandline (except 
-nsprojectsearchpath() ).

I guess this is because of your command (or your shells environment 
settings): ls -F classifies the files by appending symbols and the @ 
stands for a symbolic link (see 'man ls' for more details). Maybe you 
have defined a alias for ls?

Though /etc/init.d/WOServices could even be a symbolic to the script in 
$NEXT_ROOT, I'd suggest to copy it.

No, chmod a+x WOServices, or better chmod 0744 /etc/init.d/WOServices. 
This file should belong to root.

have a look at your logfiles for exceptions
