- Actually, I don't know the answer to your question, but we took another tack here, and it works fine.
- Instead of "starting" all the daemons, we "detach" them. That way, they don't show up at all. Course,
- you can't go back and kill them later (I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know it), but they don't take
- any screen real estate at all.
-
- Just go through the TCPSTART.CMD file and replace all the "start" with "detach", and likewise in your
- NFSSTART.CMD file. The only one that doesn't work in detached mode is the TELNETD daemon, since it
- spawns additional copies of CMD whenever a user logs into your machine. It has to run normally.
