I've had some problems with starting and stopping Jetty. It looks like the issue is related to the fact that bin/jetty.sh and /etc/init.d/jetty don't cooperate very well. The jetty.sh script keeps a PID file in /opt/jetty/tmp/jetty.pid, which it uses to determine whether or not jetty is currently running. The init script ought to check for this file as well. It also ought to provide a zap, which deletes this file to reset the system to a stopped state in case the PID file exists even though the process does not.

Closing bug. Removed from tree, till we get a maintainer and current version from source.
