58.0. "Altstart mechanism" by UTRTSC::EISINK (No Kipling apes today) Fri Jun 06 1997 10:48

	PATHWORKS has an alternative way to startup different components like
	the server, daemon, master control process etc.
	Mostly this is used to gather some trace information or to test/install
	patches.
	The following steps has to made :
	
	Note : In a cluster we've only _one_ pwrk.ini file. So in a mixed 
	architecture cluster we hace to take that in account.

	1) Create/edit pwrk$root:[000000]pwrk.ini

	2) Add a new section [altstart]

	3) Add the key for the component, for example lmsrv to startup
	   the pwrk$lmsrv process.
	   The following keys are valid:

	    LICENSE_R	! License registrar
	    LICENSE_S   ! License server
	    LMSRV	! LAN Manager server
	    LMDMN	! Daemon 
	    LMMCP	! Master Control process
	    LMRIPL	! Ripl.
	    MASTER	! MAster process
	    NBDAEMON	! Ancillary control process for Netbeui
	    KNBDAEMON	! Ancillary control process for TCP/IP
	    NETBIOS	! Netbios proces 

	4) Specify the startup command file for it, example:

	   [alstart]
	       lmsrv = device:[directory]pwrk$lmsrv_start.com

	5) Create the startup command file and specify the image to run, like

	   $ create device:[directory]pwrk$lmsrv_start.com
	   $ run /nodebug device:[directory]pwrk$lmsrv.exe

	  Or in a mixed cluster:

	$ set noon
	$ ARCH_TYPE = f$getsyi("ARCH_TYPE")
	$ if .not. $STATUS then ARCH_TYPE = 1   ! default is VAX
	$ VAX = ARCH_TYPE .eq. 1
	$ ALPHA = ARCH_TYPE .eq. 2
	$ if VAX
	$ then
	$	run/nodebug device:[direcory]pwrk$lmsrv.exe_vax
	$ else
	$ 	run/nodebug device:[direcory]pwrk$lmsrv.exe_alpha
	$ endif

	  Note the _nodebug_ switch. It must be specified.

	When PATHWORKS is started the alternate component(s) is/are started.
