# service ejabberd start

ejabberd@localhost: nodedown

Commands to start an ejabberd node:
  start      Start an ejabberd node in server mode
  debug      Attach an interactive Erlang shell to a running ejabberd node
  iexdebug   Attach an interactive Elixir shell to a running ejabberd node

To me this is a dead end - - - - perhaps someone can show me the path through?
