Thanks for all the replies, Can you decode the entries: gctsize=14 dmlist=OJLOG What does what to what? thanks Ken Moore NSCC Woodruff, SC "William C Ricker" <wcricker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>@freelists.org on 12/07/2001 02:01:42 PM Please respond to foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent by: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: Re: [foxboro] Operator action journal auto start at boot up (Richard, The e-mail system is throwing extra characters into your messages (the '3D' that shows up after every '=' sign.)

As such, I'd have thought that this variable creation step shouldn't be needed. That being said, however, we tested it on a 6.2 AW51 (just did it). Without the 'gctsize' and 'dmtsize', the variable is not changed to what's in the 'init.user' file; rather it retains what's in the standard definition ( OLOG=DLP00,Dqualdb ). Learn something new every day. Also seems in out test we see that the D or E preceeding the printer name or historian name is operating to cause Disable or Enable, so use of a fake printer or historian name is'nt indicataed. Just use D to disable, and E to enable. Any questions about how the string should form up can be answered by setting the options like you want then using the 'OperActJournal' pick under the 'Config' menu. Then use the VT100 mode and type 'pref -DMNAME OJLOG' to see how it built the string. Copy this into the init.user file. W C Ricker FeedForward, Inc.
