So, the BBOUT file is not there. Please check the names on those
0 byte files. The correct name should be "runbb.sh" and not "bbrun.sh".
There is a binary "bbrun" in the "bin" directory, but not a shell
script of that name.

I may be paranoid but, if I found a BB server whose "runbb.sh" file
was empty, I'd suspect that someone had broken into it and was
trying to cover their tracks. I'd have to recommend that you
re-install the OS (to eliminate root-kits) and then start with
a clean install of BB. Remember to use different passwords,
especially for the root user.

If possible, it can be helpful to start with a different machine.
In that way, you can refer to the previous config and data until
you're sure that everything is working correctly on the replacement
machine.

Cheers, Phil.
