When our Systartup.Com hits an error (such as trying to execute an indirect file that someone accidentally deleted), it aborts the rest of the startup file. Is there a way to make it continue executing ? Can anyone think of anything particularly dangerous about doing this ? David Love DL01@TE.CC.CMU.EDU -------

This will inhibit error checking by the CLI during the processing of that command procedure. In fact, I think this is suggested in the System Manager's Reference Manual. Just be careful that your conditions can't cause an infinite loop. -Jay Z.

Of course there might be a danger of the system might be missing something when it's up and running. I remember someone changed a few lines of code that prevented some DECnet device drivers to be loaded properly thru SYSGEN (that person for some strange reason put a $ in front of those lines). This cause the DECnet startup to fail which in turn cause system to fail as a LAT load host and also caused the system to forget it had remote ports on the LAT. This being the case other applications started to complain why it couldn't find 3 or 4 ports on the LAT. Luckly this happen doing a time when no one was around so it was possible to change the SYSTARTUP.COM and restart the system. -- BITNET address: helen@uhccux UH Admin Network: HCCADA::CS_RAPOZO US Mail Address: 874 Dillingham Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96817, Ph# (808) 845-9202 PLATO address: helen rapozo/honcc/hawaii
