Designed for use with Railo Express. Change RAILO_DIR to your own install path, then you're good to go.

Railo 4.1 Beta has moved the start.jar up a level from lib to the root of the install directory

There was also some complaining about a lack of a Java Agent in my setup, so that option has also been added.
