Richard,

The lsof sure did help. I found that the port the client was listening on was:  
1837 instead of 1581? What could cause this, the
other port not coming up? More importantly how does one correct this sort of 
thing. How do I correctly stop and start the dsmcad?
Should I just kill it and restart?

thanks,

James

James - Check your MANAGEDServices option settings, per the client manual.

Runtime problems should be apparent in the dsmwebcl.log, and thus correctable.

You can always use the lsof command to verify that the process is listening on 
the expected port number, and an http program (or
even
telnet) to verify port access.
