On my case didn't start on the port I wants and I ever get the
CodeLoader error, but I can try to explain you the other questions.

WAKom is on the startup list (The classes that need to do something
upon startup).

Then, the class method #startUp: of WAKom is:

startUp
	self name = #WAKom ifTrue: [
		SmalltalkImage current extractParameters
			at: 'PORT' ifPresent: [ :value |
				value isEmptyOrNil
					ifFalse: [ port := value asInteger ] ] ].
	port ifNotNil: [ self startOn: port ]


And #startOn: first stop the service and then restart it (or should
restart it) on the passed port parameter.

As it first stop, then should restart on the new port.

I think that will not work (if the port is already used by other app).

But, anyway, on my case, passing the port parameter not worked (On
Linux nor Windows).

See you.
