- Now, to provide an answer to Bob's REAL question: If you don't want to fiddle
- with the PQL_M* SYSGEN parameters (i.e., you don't want EVERYONE to have the
- huge page file quota that one image needs), why don't you have your startup
- procedure:
- 1) Start the batch queues
- 2) SUBMIT a job to the batch queue to run this large image.
