Re: Down Novell 4.1 after IPL

     We had a similar problem at a site in Canberra, Australia.  After a 
     few weeks investigation (with the use of a protocol analyser) we 
     traced the problem down to the version of ROUTE.NLM running on the SAA 
     server.  We applied an internal beta test patch of ROUTE.NLM dated 
     January 1997, and this fixed the problem.  No need to restart the 
     server automatically!  The patch is available from Novell.  If you 
     require further assistance, contact me at: dhunter@oi.com.au

We are running Novell for SAA 4.1.  Our network person has recently put on 
patches to 
Novell that were necessary to enable an application to run.  Since then
when the
AS400 does 
an IPL (once a week in our shop) people on the network cannot connect
untill the
server is 
downed and restarted.  This means someone comming in to do this in the
middle of
the night.  
Not fun, but the Emergency Room is on the network.
     
Does anyone know how to automate the Novell server to go down and up at a 
certain time and 
day??  Or of any new patches for Novell to allow it to reconnect to the 400 
without having 
to be downed?
     
Thanks for any acvice you can give.
