As required in forum discussion (by wroot) - we should try using startup script
below commit provides a system independent way to search the startup script location based on java searching capabilities

-improved restart mechanism:
first search for startup script dinamically by asking java
where is the startup class. based on Startup.class location the startup script
location is retrieved. If the startup script is not found, use
java capabilities to start spark (automatically computing classpath
and use java -cp startupclass)
It does redirect to start screen (12039 rev. installer). Are you talking about linux version maybe? It works fine for me on Windows (starter.exe is starting the Spark again when you log out). It doesn't work with SVN compiled version which is started with a batch file.
