Scripts

Shell-Startup invoked whenever a shell is opened Startup-Sequence used for booting the system User-Startup customizable script for booting the system

WBStartup

The WBStartup drawer contains programs and utilities that are loaded whenever the Workbench is loaded with the LoadWB command. For most users this occurs while booting the system. Each file executed must contain an icon and an associated executable file.
Any icon in the WBStartup drawer may use one of the following ToolTypes.
DONOTWAIT Forces the Workbench to open a tool without waiting for another tool to be completed.
WAIT= Specifies the number of seconds the Workbench will wait before the next icon in the WBStartup will be executed.
STARTPRI= Specifies the priority used to determine the order for which tools in the WBStartup are to be executed. Tools with higher priorities will be executed first.
