Yeah you are quite right. Using the menus ... (:- Sorry couldn't exactly answer the question, and if you find it, please let me know as well.

I knew about the init.user changes and have already made them. But for them to take effect you have to reboot each station. It would be more convenient if you could enable OAJ from a command line script - we've got a lot of screens here, some with 2 or even 3 Foxview windows so using the interactive menu is also tedious.

I add following lines to init.user so that it always comes ON whenever station is rebooted et al OJLOG=ELP01,Ehist01 gctsize=14 dmtlist=OJLOG I don't know what the last two lines mean, but it didn't work without them. Just picked up from FoxDoc.

I think I have found a way to show if it is enabled or disabled - by displaying the variable OJLOG Example: from a vt100 window on station 20AW01 looking at another dm ... 20AW01# pref -20A103 OJLOG gives the result ... DLP00,Ehs2001 means that OAJ is enabled to historian hs2001 but disabled to printer LP00 OJLOG is a dm variable that is set when you use the Foxview menu screen to interactively change the settings. But, modifying this variable from the command line does not change the action. Can it be done ? The pain of all this is that the OAJ has to be turned on at each dm individually, being able to do this from a script would save a lot of time and hassle.
