For example if a Workspace Server was to start the command line would include this port, and when the Workspace Server is done starting up it would call back to the object spawner using this port.<BR /><BR />Based on this output it looks like your configuration in Metadata is such that no workspace server is associated with the hostname where this object spawner is running, so it is not reserving port 8591.
