There can only be one instance of rxapi active on a system. When launched, rxapi transforms itself into a system daemon process (David Ashley can give you more details than this). The information that rxapi holds is managed on a per-user basis (e.g., no sharing of queue instances between different users).
In a normal installation, the rxapi process will be launched at system startup, so it should always be there. The auto-launching stuff is primarily for the benefit of the developers working on ooRexx who may need to frequently update the rxapi code and don't want to reboot their system (or in my case, are working from a development, non-install version). We have many, many items right now that need to be done to get this next release out that are higher priority than trying to put out an error message in this situation.
