Setting up your server to restart programs automatically

You can set the Workgroup Server 8150 to start server application programs
(including network services) automatically whenever you start the server or
whenever the server automatically restarts after a temporary power outage.

To set up your server to restart server application programs automatically:

1

Create an alias for each server application program that should start automatically.

You create an alias by selecting the icon of the program on the desktop and
choosing Make Alias from the File menu.

2

Drag the aliases to the Startup Items folder, located in the System Folder of your

startup disk.

Macintosh computers and servers automatically open documents and programs
(or their aliases) located in the Startup Items folder whenever the computer or
server starts up.

Note: The server opens documents and programs located in the Startup Items
folder in alphabetical or numerical order. Because the order that you start
server application programs may be important (as described in your server
application program documentation), you may want to rename your aliases so
that your server application programs start in the desired order. One method
that allows you to do this is to insert numbers at the beginning of the
filenames. The following figure shows a sample setup.

Add numbers to the
program aliases to set
the order of startup.
