795.1Process-name already exists?CPEEDY::COOKJust say NO to that AccViO! - Java!!!Wed Mar 26 1997 19:2825
    
    >>ERROR -- Could not change process name.
    
    This probably indicates that the process-name was already in use.
    
    Each print-server is given a separate process name, formed by
    appending the queue-name to a fixed string.  But, if the an
    earlier-instantiation of that same print-server didn't get shutdown
    all the way to process-deletion, then when the product is restarted
    again, it no doubt blindly tries to recreate a process with that
    same name and fails due to process name collision.
    
    (You may be able to confirm/deny this hypothesis by examination of
     the log files and see if there's any missing msgs of processes
     failing to shutdown properly.)
    
    If there are any stuck NetWare-related processes after executing 
    a shutdown (via @sys$startup:pwvn$shutdown), then try doing stop/id
    on them before restarting the product.
    
    
    Hope this helps...
