Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 6, Issue 347

        This is that "2001 Space Oddysey" (Eclipse) blob
that shows up at the    bottom of the
:2001">http://<yourserver>:2001 page,    "i5/OS Web-Based
Help Server".  It's been around for a while, I know I    saw
it in V5R3.  You can click on it, sign in and see the page
informing    you "The Eclipse Help System is currently
started".  It's set up to click    to stop... but it's not
automatic.  
   

   1. QIBMHELP - do we need it? (Jim Franz)

subject: QIBMHELP - do we need it?

Is there any reason for QIBMHELP to be running? 
Described as "the IBM Help Server is an interface for the
InfoCenter...) At V5R4 it starts automatically with TCP at
startup, using port 4111. It's not in the CFGTCP list of
servers to specify not to autostart. It chews up an
enormous amount of resource to get going, and  (from what I
can tell) at least 1.5 gig of temp storage. It's running a
Tomcat server. (????) It's not supported by the Support
Center according to doc below... No mention of *IBMHELP or
QIBMHELP in the V5R4 or R3 Memo to Users. You can end it
with endtcpsvr *ibmhelp, but it does not seem to  release
the temp storage used (unless there is something else
holding this temp storage)... and will start again on next
ipl. See doc for brief description & how to keep from
starting.

What else is IBM starting automatically that small shops
don't need? Anyone have a list of what to enable/disable
that came along with recent  releases?
I like new features, but put them in the Memo to Users so
we can understand what's running and how to control them. 
IPL the system & see 183 jobs running 
(customer has v5r4 model 800 1-gig memory, 35 gig
disk...much slower when v5r4 loaded & even slower
