Autostart Tab

Use this tab to have any of the following TCP/IP servers and programs start automatically when TCP/IP starts.

Note: NFSD, NFSSTART, PMX, PORTMAP, and HTTPD come with kit offerings and may not be installed on every computer. If present, however, they will appear in and be selectable from the Autostarted Services list box on the Autostart tab.

The fields on this page are:

From the list box, select a service that you want to have started for you automatically when TCP/IP starts.

Autostart Service

Check this box to indicate you want to autostart the selected service. The autostart conditions available (select only one) are:

INETD Super Server Daemon
Select this radio button to start the service when a connection request for it is received by INETD. In order for INETD to start other services, INETD cannot be in a Detached state (cannot have the Detached radio button selected). INETD can be used to start TELNETD, FTPD, TFTPD, REXECD, RSHD, and LPD only.

Detached
Select this radio button to start the service when TCP/IP starts. The service does not appear in the OS/2 task list.

Foreground Session
Select this radio button to start the service in an OS/2 window when TCP/IP is started.

Minimized
Check this box if you are starting a service in an OS/2 window foreground session but want the OS/2 window minimized.

Parameters

The following parameters, by service, are available:

You can use INETD as an alternative to starting some services. If you use INETD to autostart TCP/IP services, any parameters that you specify on this page will be ignored.
