| 3022.1 | Just wait.... | IO::MCCARTNEY | James T. McCartney III - DTN 381-2244 ZK02-2/N24 | Fri Jul 06 1990 14:09 | 7 |
| I believe there's some working in progress to allow this
sort of thing. I'm not sure when it will make it onto the
VMS kit but stay tuned...
BTW, why do you have to wait 15 minutes?

Because some of us have old hardware with little memory.

| 3022.3 | Who needs a session manager anyway? | PEACHS::BELDIN | | Thu Jul 12 1990 15:47 | 11 |

You could try just starting up the server (@DECW$STARTUP SERVER,LIBS)
and then running the session manager... BUT, I just tried this
and keep getting it SYSTEM-F-BADPARM... Fyi, you can run the
window manager with the login box on the screen - kind of an
interesting effect... Tried running DECW$STARTSM.COM but had
the same problem... Why not just fire off a few decterms and
apps from startup - do you really use the session manager?

| 3022.4 | Another similar suggesion... | IO::MCCARTNEY | James T. McCartney III - DTN 381-2244 ZK02-2/N24 | Thu Jul 12 1990 17:07 | 23 |

I was thinking about using the same solution to get everything
started but then there's the problem of how to communicate where
decw$display is. That's probably what's causing your bad param msg.
I don't remember how it actually is done. I knew once, had to do
with sys$error and some black magic in $CREPRC but I can't find it.
Perhaps the session manager people can tell us...
One idea, again not starting the APPS, would be to
submit/user=<username> my_start_sm.com
which would contain commands to run both the decw$login.com and
then run the session manager. Might also have to run the window
manager, haven't tried it. Bad news is that the session manager
would be running in batch. Also don't know if it works.
If I find the message saying how DECW$DISPLAY gets started, it would
be possible to severly hack things to replace DECW$STARTLOGIN.EXE.

| Thanks for all suggestions. I tried these - there seems to be some extreme0
black magic performed for the session manager which does not conform to our
normal way of thinking (VMS processes etc...)
I can get DECterms up automatically but they won't iconify because there's
no Session Manager. I've tried many ways to get an auto session manager but the
only way that I've managed is to set my user account /NOPASS and have trained
my 3 year old son to stand guard and to type in the family name once he sees
the " d i g i t a l" logo. (Means that I continue watching the news on TV till
the station is ready for use)
There Must be a better way,
Chris.

| The thing you're missing (for iconification) isn't the session manager, it's the
window manager. You should be able to fire that up at the same time as starting
the decterms. Use the command RUN DECW$WINMGREXE.
