- Howdy,
- There is another slick way of doing autoloading of VAPs. I'm not sure of the
- name of the CFG file (I think it is VAP.CFG) where you can put all the names
- of the VAPs you want to load and say something like:
- VAP PSERVER.VAP WAIT = 20
- or something like that. I've tried it once and it is great !. The WAIT
- statement tells you the server to wait for a response upto 20 seconds and
- then load the VAP automatically. You can also see the server counting from
- 20 down to 0...
-
- P.S: I don't have Netware reference books with me right now, so I hope
- my memory is reliable.
