Note: The server opens scripts and programs located in the Shutdown
Items folder in alphabetical or numerical order. Because the order in which
server application programs are run may be important, you may want to
rename the aliases so that the programs are run in the desired order.

The next time you choose Shut Down or Restart from the Special menu, the
scripts and programs are run. If you choose Shut Down from the Apple
menu, the items in the Shutdown Items folder are not run.

Additional capabilities for your server system

You have the option to install two programs included with your server that
provide additional capabilities for your system software:

m

PowerTalk, which provides built-in mail and collaboration services

m

QuickDraw GX, which gives your computer more powerful printing
capabilities

Because these programs are not designed specifically for use on server
systems, they may reduce your server’s performance. Keep this possibility
in mind when deciding if you want to add these capabilities to your
Workgroup Server.

IMPORTANT

If you use the AppleShare Print Server with your server and

you want to use QuickDraw GX also, be sure to see the AppleShare Read
Me file.

You’ll find Installers for these optional programs in the System Software
Installers folder on the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc.

IMPORTANT

AppleScript, which allows you to automate many actions you

perform repeatedly on your server, is already installed in your system. To
review the available automated tasks, look in the Apple (K) menu. To learn
how to create new scripts for your server, see the “Using AppleScript”
documents in the AppleScript folder in the Apple Extras folder on your
hard disk.
