Setting up automatic
start routines
Autostart at log-on
You can make your next Econet session, and every subsequent
session, start automatically with the same action or sequence of
actions. To do this:
1
Create a file called !BOOT in your main directory. Put in it
the commands you want the file server to carry out each time
you log on. To create the file, you use *SAVE or *SPOOL (or, if
it's available, the disc filing system command *BUILD).
2
Change the autostart setting of your main
directory by
typing: *OPT4,<number>[RETURN]
The number you type can be 0, 1, 2 or 3.
0
switches the autostart off
1
makes the file server *LOAD your file !BOOT each
time you log on
2
makes it *RUN your file !BOOT each time you log on
3
makes it *EXEC your file !BOOT each time you log on.
Type:
*CAT[RETURN]
and you will see the autostart option you selected after the word "
Option" at the top of your listing.
Each time you log on, the file server:
■
finds your directory (if you have one)
■
takes the action determined by its autostart option.
If the option is 1, 2 or 3 and there is no file !BOOT in your main
directory, you will get the message "Not found".
