955.0. "Decw display at startup?" by MERCY::SKINNER () Thu Jun 15 1989 09:59

    Hi,
    
    This sounds like a petty question, but does anyone know what toggles
    whether or not the "Decwindows banner" is displayed after a satellite
    is booted and decwindows started up. It seems as though some of
    our customers have to do a "shift or crtl F2" to get the display
    going and some don't. I think they use this display as a sign that
    their satellite is up. Any help is appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Shari.

  May need to get more info...

  The CTRL-F2 is the operator window switch.  Usually the startup process
'logs off' upon system boot complete.  When this happens the server will
then see that it now has access and control of the screen.

  Based on your note I am not sure why the operator window was not being
toggled off automagically.  I have never seen this happen in any of our
LAVC's at the customer site. Hmmm...
