Launching Applications Automatically

A user-level application can be launched automatically by configuring the application and cud fields in the pad_spt section of the x29hosts file.

The application parameter specifies the name of the user application (or script) to be automatically launched when the connection is established. The cud parameter is used like an on/off switch to enable or disable the use of Call User Data (CUD) instructions.

If you are using a UNIX script, it must contain the character string #!/bin/ksh at the beginning of the first line. If this string is not included, the system will return an error code.

If the application and cud fields do not appear in the pad_spt file, the /bin/login (default) program is automatically launched.
