Re: Calling a program upon connecting

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got to agree with the other person.  Yes it can be done, but what are you 
trying to do?

1)  Client access user wants a green screen application to come up but doesn't 
want to sign in.  They've already signed in to the PC why should they have to 
sign in again?  Solution:  In configuring the session click on 'bypass signon 
display'.

2)  Remote 400 user wants to use session but doesn't want to sign on again.  
Solution:  In the STRPASTHR command consider burying a userid and password.  
Keep in mind security implications.

3)  PC user wants to execute a command on the 400 to run but doesn't need a 
green screen session.  Command can run in batch.  Solution:  Consider the 
RMTCMD function of Client Access.

4)  Remote 400 user wants to run job on local 400.  Job can run in batch and 
requires no interactive session.  Solution:  Consider the SBMRMTCMD command.

5)  Remote computer user wants to start job on 400.  Remote user might be 
Eunuch or some other operating system.  Solution:  Consider using a ftp script 
including the following
quote rcmd commandtorun parameters
Below is an example script file.  This can be executed from DOS prompt within 
NT with the command   ftp -n -s:script.ftp
script.ftp would then contain:
open nameofremotelocation
user userid password
quote rcmd sndmsg 'test' rob
quit

and the list goes on...

Subject:        Calling a program upon connecting






Is it possible to call a program upon connecting to an AS/400 without
      having to sign-on to a green screen?

If so, where might one find information on doing so?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in Advance
