NOVELL TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT
TITLE: DELAY.NLM - Delays loading of NLM's
DOCUMENT ID: TID021668
DOCUMENT REVISION: A
DATE: 29JUL94
ALERT STATUS: Yellow
INFORMATION TYPE: Symptom Solution
README FOR: DELAY.EXE
NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION:
NLM SDK 3.0
ABSTRACT:
DELAY.EXE contains a sample NLM program that will delay the loader within the
NetWare OS from loading other NLM's until the specified time has elapsed.
DELAY.NLM would typically be used within a .NCF procedure to allow a
previously loaded NLM to stabilize before continuing to load other NLM's.

SYMPTOM
Some NLM's require the use of either drivers and/or library modules to be
loaded prior to execution. Sometimes there are load order dependencies that
can only be solved my manually loading NLM software instead of being able to
load the NLM's from within a .NCF file. DELAY.NLM is a utility that attempts
to minimize the hand loading of NLM's by allowing the administrator to delay
the execution or loading of an NLM by a specified number of seconds.
SOLUTION
Load DELAY in .NCF files where you want to delay the execution of other NLM's
for a specified number of seconds. Usage for a delay of 20 seconds would look
like this:
LOAD DELAY 20
Source code is included with this utility. This NLM is an example of using
the SynchronizeStart API and the link directive "SYNCHRONIZE".
