3422.0. "Autostart doesn't work .... Please help" by VIDOAN::DOAN (Network Management Solutions of the 90's) Tue Oct 02 1990 12:40

Greeting,

	I have been trying various ways to get an application to AUTO-START on
	my workstattion 3100 but still getting the same problem. Here is the
	result which I get from trying,

	$create/term=decterm ETHERNIM  ( ETHERNIM is a DCL foreign verb )

	This works fine when I run it INTERACTIVELY

	But when I defined it with verb ENIM with the same syntax and execute
	it via Session Manager Application window, the decterm is created and
	then POUP ... it was gone. It also happened when I used AUTO-START. 
	

	I don't know DECwindow well enough to create a log file to trap the
	error which may explain why the decterm is disappeared. Please 
	help me to explain of the symptom and may be provide hints how to
	get this working. Thanks.

    Re: .0
    
    The problem is that create/term exits as soon as the DECterm window is
    created.  When $create/term exits the subprocess running ETHERNIM will
    exit as well.  To make this work you should define the ENIM verb as:
    
    	create/terminal=decterm/wait ETHERNIM

Hi Bob,

	Thanks for the quick response. I will post your suggestion in the
	other network management notesfiles so that you don't have to answer
	this same question more than once. Thanks again.
