List,
I just completed testing of the Startup of Customer Files:
Per the user notes for 8.X or above, custom software should be started
in the file /etc/fox/user_apps.dat
This gets started by the FoxApps Service on boot up. This also still has
the log file user_apps.log to review issues that may occur due to the
improper call of executable files.

Mr. Ricker,
/usr/fox/bin/fox_apps.dat on NT/V7.x/V8.x has become the default
place to start user apps from. Not the official place though.
A good rule to follow is to make sure the user app start lines
always come after the IPS ones.
I ran into a situation yesterday where a IPS package was added.
The package was AIMSTAR. The AIMSTAR installer adds to the
fox_apps.dat
file. The installer added the line on the same line as a user app
which
was on the last line.
C_VARAIMSTAR , so neither started. Moral to the story, be careful.
Best Regards,
Scott L. Landry

True enough, but I am kind of hoping to tease some indication of the
"official" Foxboro position on this from one of our Foxboro colleagues.

William,
a) The AW70 does not support the \etc\fox\user_apps.dat function. There
are
some files located in the directory but you cannot execute anything from
these files on boot up of the AW70. I have not tested the Server 70
but I
suspect - no, it does not support the user_apps.dat function.
b) the \usr\fox\bin\fox_apps.dat is the method for starting custom
applications. Since this also starts the Foxboro apps, care is required
to
ensure OM and FoxAPI and other apps are (100%) started before you
application gets started otherwise some of your calls might fail. The
other
thing to consider is to save this custom file in event that a Foxboro
release upgrade over-writes the file.
Regards,
Terry
So, a) does the user_apps.dat function exist on 70 series stations?
and, b) if not, what is the preferred method of starting custom apps
on an AW70 ?
Regards,
William C Ricker
