Note: NFSD, PMX, PORTMAP, and HTTPD come with kit offerings and may not be installed on every computer. If present, however, they will appear in and be selectable from the Autostarted Services list box on the Autostart tab.

In general, to enable any of the preceding services to start automatically:

1. Select the Autostart tab.

2. Select a service from the Autostarted Services list box.

3. Under Autostart Options, check the Autostart Service box.

4. Select a radio button to specify a condition for when the service starts:

5. If you choose to start a service in an OS/2 window foreground session, you can check the Minimized box to minimize the OS/2 window.

6. For most services, you can specify parameters that you want to use when the service starts.

The sections that follow give details and parameters for starting specific services.

Autostart options are saved in the TCPSTART.CMD file.
