RE: Editing Startup program on as/400

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is more a case of making sure STRSBS QSERVER is one of the FIRST
things to be started in your startup program (I believe the IBM QSTRUP
program starts it second, right after QSPL)  than it is of a delay
between STRTCP and STRHOSTSVR *ALL.  In my startup program QSERVER is
second thing started, and I put the STRTCP & STRHOSTSVR commands way
down after all other subsystems are started.  That's always been enough
time to make sure QSERVER is started before STRTCP/STRHOSTSVR is
attempted.
(Note in V4R2 STRTCP will also start the host servers so you don't need
the separate STRHOSTSVR *ALL command).
