Genesis: Connect on startup then hide?
« on: November 04, 2005, 01:07:19 PM »
I've got Genesis loading on boot from a script in WBStartup. It opens the window and I have to make the interface go online then iconify the window. This is annoying because:

a) I don't wannt the window to appear
b) I don't want to have to manually connect the interface
c) I don't want the Genesis icon on my background

So, is it possible to make Genesis set the interface online automatically, and then if possible hide altogether rather than just iconifying?

Have you at least tried to take a look in the Prefs? All the things you request is right there, and then it's just a matter of adding a line to your User-Startup to start Genesis.

Yes I did have a look last night but I couldn't see the option. It was late so I must have missed it  :-) Good to know the options are there, I'll have a look tonight when I get home.

in GENESISPrefs>Option/Display you can chose:

Open at starttup
Iconified at startup
Closed at startup

in GENESISPrefs>Interfaces "ETHx">Services

tick the Auto-Online option :-)

Does anyone know how to really close Genesis when you open it using the close at startup option when you're done using it?

You can do it in the shell:

1.>status
Process 1: Loaded as command: AmiTCP:kernel/AmiTCP.020
.
1.>break 1


You could probably write a script to do this.

didn't genesis come with a stopnet script?

if it does, just type stopnet to close it.
Slightly bored and severly confused..

@Flashlab

There are several ways. For example:

- Open the GUI, choose 'Quit' from the menu.

- Use rx to send 'QUIT' to AMITCP arexx port. rx "address AMITCP; 'QUIT'"

Need to resurrect this post.

Choosing "iconified at startup" has no effect here

Genesis Window opens, interface goes online and window stays that way. There is also something weird. When Genesis window first opens, the right click menu does not display anything. I have to iconify it once so that the menu starts working.

"Closed at startup" works properly though.
