58.0. "/NoCom please" by LESLIE::LESLIE (Andy ��� Leslie, CSSE / VMS) Sat Jan 28 1989 15:33

    I'd like to see logins with the /NOCOM or /COM=filename.com implemented
    under DECWINDOWS.
    
    Specifically I'd like this because sometimes I don't want to start the
    full circus. If this were to be implemented, I'd like to get just the
    icon box and the session manager. Nothing else.

	DECwindows has it now, doesn't it? I know in the past I've logged
	in to my workstation with RYAN/NOCOM, and up came only the
	session manager and window manager...

    Oooops. I haven't tried this for awhile, meant to post it months
    ago.
    
    If it's all there, I apologise.

58.3X5.2, rather than V5.2RDGENG::LESLIEAndy ��� Leslie, CSSE / VMSMon Jan 30 1989 09:177
    Well, the Session Manager on V5.2 starts up DECterms and/or FileView
    as usual.
    
    Not what I wanted. I'd like Session Manager. I'll start what I want.

	Indeed, on SDC V5.1 logging in RYAN/NOCOM gives me nothing but
	the session manager and the icon box, so DECW$LOGIN.COM is not
	being executed. But, I start everything (including DECterms)
	via DECW$LOGIN.COM. I bet that the session manager starts up
	whatever is specified in its setup regardless of /NOCOM. This
	does make a certain amount of sense, since /NOCOM literally
	means "don't execute *LOGIN.COM", but it doesn't match what
	the user expects when specifying /NOCOM.
