Using desktop application programs
You can also use your Workgroup Server as a desktop personal computer to
run some personal application programs. Running such programs,
however, may degrade the performance of your server application
programs or network services.
Order of installing and starting programs
Though your server may have come with server application programs or
network services, you may want to install additional software. Note that
the order in which server application programs are installed and started is
important. Be sure to review the documentation, especially product Read
Me files, for all the server application programs you plan to use before
installing and running them. Also, refer to the Workgroup Server Read Me
file on your server system’s hard disk for the most up-to-date news about
installing server application programs.
Setting up your server to restart programs automatically
You can set the Workgroup Server to start server application programs
(including network services) automatically whenever you start up the
server or whenever the server automatically restarts after a temporary
power outage.
To set up your server to restart server application programs automatically:
1
Create an alias for each program that you want the server to start
automatically.
You create an alias by selecting the icon of the program on the desktop and
choosing Make Alias from the File menu.
