tl;dr: Tried everything. No change.
Becomming Jane Root
This is how I become root:
ssh user@myserver
sudo su
Standard procedure, really. This is a non-login shell, but it is not non-interactive. I understand that using -i gives me the root user’s login environment, but IMHO it’s interactive either way. Source.
I originally installed FOG by calling
cd /home/user/fogproject/bin
sudo ./installfog.sh
since that is the “Ubuntu way” of doing things.
@Sebastian-Roth’s advice
Removing --quiet from the start-stop-daemon call does nothing. But it was certainly worth a try.
This is the contents of /var/www/fog/service/:
root@myserver:/var/www/fog/service# ls -lha

But I found FOGImageReplicator and friends in /opt/fog/service. That’s where they should be according to the link you posted (my init.d script looks the same, as expected).
root@myserver:/opt/fog/service# ls -lha
total 36K
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4,0K Mar 23 14:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4,0K Jul 9 11:12 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K May 15 2014 etc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K May 15 2014 FOGImageReplicator
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K May 15 2014 FOGMulticastManager
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Mar 23 14:43 FOGPingHosts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Mar 23 14:43 FOGSnapinReplicator
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K May 15 2014 FOGTaskScheduler
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K Mar 23 14:43 lib
Enabling error reporting in FOGImageReplicator also makes no difference 
Should I be seeing it on the command line, or in a log file somewhere? There are still no files in /opt/fog/log.
@Wayne-Workman’s tip
It looks like the execute bit is set:
root@myserver:/opt/fog/service/FOGImageReplicator# ls -lha
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K May 15 2014 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4,0K Mar 23 14:43 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 608 Jul 11 22:11 FOGImageReplicator
@Tom-Elliott’s idea
I went into a interactive root login shell with sudo su -. And then:
# service FOGImageReplicator start
* Starting FOG Computer Imaging Solution: FOGImageReplicator [ OK ]
# service FOGImageReplicator status
* FOGImageReplicator is not running
Ran the installer again (still in the shell created with sudo su -
# cd /home/user/fogproject/bin
# ./installfog.sh
Not going to bother you with the entire install log. Every step reported ...OK.
Then lo and behold, still the same 
# ls /var/run/fog
FOGImageReplicator.pid FOGMulticastManager.pid FOGPingHosts.pid FOGScheduler.pid FOGSnapinReplicator.pid
# service FOGImageReplicator status
* FOGImageReplicator is not running
# service FOGMulticastManager status
* FOGMulticastManager is not running
# service FOGPingHosts status
* FOGPingHosts is not running
# service FOGScheduler status
* FOGScheduler is not running
# service FOGSnapinReplicator status
* FOGSnapinReplicator is not running
Thanks for the help thus far.
They are present with the right permissions, IMO, but I pasted the output in case I overlook something.
