Network - Adding Startup Options To The Login |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: It is possible to put WordPerfect startup options in the login script on a Novell network. The login script acts much like an AUTOEXEC.BAT file, executing each time the user logs on. The advantage of the login script over the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is that it is not computer specific. There are two login scripts, the system login script and user login scripts. The first contains commands that apply to all users. The second is unique to that user. Both execute upon login; the system login script executes first, then the user. To put a startup option in the login script, type (for example) DOS SET WP="/U-xxx/N2/M-startup" This causes the options to be in effect each time that WP is started. However, there are some things to consider when doing this. One is that Novell will recognize backslashes (\) in a unique way when encountered in the System Login Script. Thus, all backslashes that are entered as part of a pathname (i.e., WP/D-U:\USERS\VIVIAN) need to be doubled (i.e., WP/D-U:\\USERS\\VIVIAN). Otherwise they will not be recognized. If a user is getting a message "Directory Is In Use. New WP Directory:," it could possibly be for this reason. |
