    No, what happens is that `obtainPort()` will fail and return -1if the port 
is being used. We check if the _skip install_ or _already started_ flags are 
set, because in those cases the entity is running, and is using the port, so we 
_don't_ return null for an error, but just assume the first port in the range 
is what the entity is using. I know this isn't always perfect, but we can 
assume that if there is a configured port then that configuration is correct...
