Other Useful GroupWise Startup Options

In addition to the /@u-? startup option described previously, you can use several other startup options to alter the behavior of GroupWise 7. Table B.1 describes several of these useful GroupWise startup options, and you can find a complete list of startup switches in the GroupWise documentation located on the Novell website at www.novell.com/documentation/lg/gw7/index.html under the heading "Using Startup Options."

Table B.1. Useful GroupWise Startup Switches

SYNTAX	FUNCTION
/@u-userID	Allows you to launch GroupWise and access your mail box from another user's computer while the other user is still logged on to the network.
/bl	Launches GroupWise without displaying the GroupWise splash screen (but does not actually speed up the loading of the program).
/c	Causes GroupWise to check for unopened items. If unopened items exist in your mailbox, GroupWise opens as usual. If no unopened items are found, GroupWise does not load.
/cm	Causes GroupWise to check for unopened items. If unopened items exist in your mailbox, you will hear an audible beep and GroupWise will open minimized. If no unopened items are found, GroupWise will not load.
/iabs	Causes the Address Book application to load. This results in a slightly slower GroupWise launch time but causes the Address Book to open much quicker when you access it for the first time in GroupWise. This also helps with the opening of the first email item because the Address Book is already initialized.
/pc	Allows you to launch GroupWise and point to a specific path for the cache mailbox.
/pr	Allows you to launch GroupWise and point it to a specific path for the remote mailbox.

You can string multiple GroupWise startup switches together on the program line simply by placing a space between the startup switches.
