Does anyone know if it is possible to open the console window automatically when a user first logs in? Our users keep forgetting and hence dont see any error messages. Any help appreciated, thanks. +-------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Owen Baker | Communication Services Unit | | rxcob@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au | RMIT - Victoria University of Technology | | (61) (3) 660-2038 | Melbourne, Victoria, Australia | +-------------------------------+-------------------------------------------+

The default behaviour for Personal Iris consoles is to start iconified; this is controlled by the following line in /usr/NeWS/lib/startup.ps : /consoleStartsIconic /true def (This variable determines whether the option flag -Z7 is appended to the argument list for wsh when starting the console window.) So, if you want the console window open on login, change the above line to /consoleStartsIconic /false def Users who have their own customized of startup.ps will need to change their files as well if they want the same effects. |> Any help appreciated, thanks.
