Online 7 network listening deamon

To any network/online 7 experts I know this is a more a network question than database, but please bear with me. We are working with Online 7.10 on an NCR running SVR4 and we have run into a problem when the engine is brought down abruptly, i.e. onmode -ky. We are then unable to restart the engine. Here is our best guess for the reason/cause. When the Online 7 engine is started, a network service is started with it(replacement for I-Star). Everything runs, but after the engine is brought down abruptly with the onmode command, it won't start giving an error: oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation We believe when the engine restarts, it tries to re-establish the network service, and fails cause the service is still active. If we change the network port for the Online network service we can get the engine up, but changing the port everytime the engine crashes is not good. Do any one have any insight or answers, please! Pathetic, I know:^( Any help will be greatly appreciated. ===================================================================== Paul Watje Database Something or Another watjep@hasting.com Hastings Books, Music, & Video
