Better error message in XdbDbStart

I suggest modifying the main method in XdbDbStart to the following. The result will be better error message.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Connection con = null;
        Statement stmt = null;
        String startDBstmt = null;
        Map<String, List<String>> m = null;
        String database = null;
        String waitTimeout = null;
        try {
            m = ParseArgs.parse(args, "jhsdupw");

database = ParseArgs.getStrArg(m, "-d");
            waitTimeout = ParseArgs.getStrArg(m, "-w");

con = Util.connect(m, true);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("The following parameters were used: " + m); 
            terminate(e.getMessage());
        }
        try {
            stmt = con.createStatement();
            startDBstmt = "START DATABASE " + database;

if (waitTimeout != null) {
                startDBstmt += " WAITTIMEOUT " + waitTimeout;
            }

stmt.execute(startDBstmt);
            System.out.println("Database(s) " + database + " started.");

} catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("The following command was sent: " + startDBstmt); 
            terminate(e.getMessage());
        } finally {
            try {
                if (stmt != null) {
                    stmt.close();
                }

if (con != null) {
                    con.close();
                }
            } catch (SQLException sqle) {
            }
        }

System.exit(0);
    }

The error message before:
The following command was sent: null
Backend start-up failed: FATAL: database "xdbadmin" does not exist.
Parameters: <connect> -d <database> [-w <waittimeout>]
where <connect> is -j jdbc:edb://<host>:<port>/<database>?user=<username>&password=<password>
or [-h <host>] [-s <port>] -d <database> -u <user> [-p <password>]
-h <host> : Host name or IP address where XDBServer is running. Default is localhost
-s <port> : XDBServer's port. Default is 6453
-d <database> : Name of databases to start.
-u <user>, -p <password> : Login to the database
-w <waittimeout> : Timeout (seconds) to wait for database is online. Default is 60.

The error message after:
The following parameters were used: {-d=[testdatabase1], -s=[5432], -p=[hurramegrundt], -h=[88.5.12.3], -u=[gridsqluser]}
Backend start-up failed: FATAL: database "xdbadmin" does not exist.
Parameters: <connect> -d <database> [-w <waittimeout>]
where <connect> is -j jdbc:edb://<host>:<port>/<database>?user=<username>&password=<password>
or [-h <host>] [-s <port>] -d <database> -u <user> [-p <password>]
-h <host> : Host name or IP address where XDBServer is running. Default is localhost
-s <port> : XDBServer's port. Default is 6453
-d <database> : Name of databases to start.
-u <user>, -p <password> : Login to the database
-w <waittimeout> : Timeout (seconds) to wait for database is online. Default is 60.

Btw. I still have not figured out why I am getting this error message, but I probably will within an hour or so.

I have the same question when execute "gs-createdb.sh"
