java.rmi.server.ExportException

java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 1099; nested exception is: java.net.BindException: Address already in use:JVM_Bind

If the system goes down uncleanly sometimes when I start as2.exe I get the above error.

I would like to automate the startup of the as2.exe server, is there any way to help the system be able to startup? I do script the deletion of the .lock file as well as delay the startup of the as2.exe which seems to help but any other ideas\suggestions?
