Good idea. Here is a proposed patch for the README:

I have not changed the memory line, as I don't know what the current
default preference is but I assume it may be in the current build.xml
target for ./ant run?
Also while we're at it, all of the rc.ofbiz* files should have the
executable bit set, and at least the debian and ubuntu versions of
should have the first line changed to #!/bin/bash, as they won't run
with the default /bin/sh (which is dash).
Finally, we should probably provide instructions to add a symlink
at /usr/local/sbin/ofbiz (or /etc/init.d/ofbiz) to whichever rc.ofbiz*
is appropriate, and you would have a working server daemon similar to
others on the system. However, when I tried running those scripts from
a server (through ssh) and then logged out, IIRC, the daemon died. I
seem to recall having to add a "nohup" before the $JAVA command to make
them work.
