Hi Matt,
I appreciate your help but, mmm... that's not really what we call a patch ;o)

You could submit a change to the README. Also we could update it (memory used)
Good idea. Here is a proposed patch for the README:

< Once that is properly setup just run the executable jar file
---
OFBiz uses the java build tool "ant". A copy of "ant" is included
with OFBiz, and the OFBiz codebase is designed for use with the
included version. Using a different version of ant (such as the one
installed with your java JDK) may produce different results. The
above commands (note the use of "./ant", not just "ant" in linux) will
use the local OFBiz version. Running the "./ant -p" command in this
directory will show the many build targets available for OFBiz.
Once OFBiz is properly setup just run the executable jar file
20a29,32
or easier still, using ant, just use the following command:
linux: ./ant run
windows: ant run
22c34,45
< operating systems, namely startofbiz.bat and startofbiz.sh.

operating systems, namely startofbiz.bat and startofbiz.sh.
These scripts will start OFBiz in a console window, with a lot of
logging output to the screen. This output is also saved in the log
file at runtime/logs/ofbiz.log. To halt the server while it is
running, press Ctrl-C.
For scripts to run OFBiz as a background process, or to start, stop,
restart, or show status of an OFBiz background process, see:
rc.ofbiz (for CentOS, Redhat, and similar systems)
rc.ofbiz.for.debian
rc.ofbiz.for.ubuntu
I have not changed the memory line, as I don't know what the current
default preference is but I assume it may be in the current build.xml
target for ./ant run?
Also while we're at it, all of the rc.ofbiz* files should have the
executable bit set, and at least the debian and ubuntu versions of
should have the first line changed to #!/bin/bash, as they won't run
with the default /bin/sh (which is dash).
Finally, we should probably provide instructions to add a symlink
at /usr/local/sbin/ofbiz (or /etc/init.d/ofbiz) to whichever rc.ofbiz*
is appropriate, and you would have a working server daemon similar to
others on the system. However, when I tried running those scripts from
a server (through ssh) and then logged out, IIRC, the daemon died. I
seem to recall having to add a "nohup" before the $JAVA command to make
them work.
