Process wont run

I have a piece of data management software that I cannot seem to get to run. Whenever I start the process it gives me this

[root@001 install]# bash niagarad_generic start
Starting Niagara Daemon: [  OK  ]

but when I check the status I get

[root@001 install]# bash niagarad_generic status
niagarad is stopped

How do I tell why the service is not starting?

I ran it in debug mode and this is what I got

[root@001 install]# Niagara-3.8.41bash -x niagarad_generic start
-bash: Niagara-3.8.41bash: command not found
[root@001 install]# bash -x niagarad_generic start
