Hi Gary,
Do the following at OS level /bin/netstat -alnp|egrep 'Local|9083' Do you see any connection. If so then it is already running like below: netstat -alnp|egrep 'Local|9083' Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9083 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 20598/java tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:21693 127.0.0.1:9083 ESTABLISHED 20800/java tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9083 127.0.0.1:21693 ESTABLISHED 20598/java If you see it is running just do kill -9 20598 To get rid of it and start it again.
