There is a standard "startup.ijs", which is supposed to be run at session start. However, it only runs on GUI front end, not on console, though the same profile is executed.

The hack that I use is to add the two lines (marked NB. ***) near the end of profile.ijs NB. ========================================================= NB.

Any additions beyond this NB. point may confuse things and cause failures. 0!:0 <jhostpath sys, '\extras\util\boot.ijs' Here are the first and last lines of the referenced "quedprof.ijs" % hnt /usr/local/lib/j504/quedprof.ijs <== /usr/local/lib/j504/quedprof.ijs ==> NB. create / cd to jkt locale 18!:4 <'jkt' NB. doing this explicitly because we are "pre-boot" COCLASSPATH=: 'jkt';,'z' NB. coclass'jkt' NB. ... elided ... NB. now change back to the 'home' locale & add jkt to its path (again explicitly) 18!:4 <'base' NB. cocurrent'base' ('jkt';18!:2<'base')18!:2<'base' NB. ('jkt';copath'base')copath'base' In the elided section, I have lots of utilities etc. including things I use for J CGI and shell scripts. This has worked very well for me and is easy to carry from release to release. - joey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
