Console at Startup

This is not as complex as it sounds.

Please make sure that the weblogic admin server is running before your windows boots up completely.

This can be achieved if the admin server is already running on a remote machine. If it is located on the same Box then it be configured to run as a windows service.

The steps and procedure is quite straight forward.

1) Open a notepad

2) Enter this line in notepad editor:

@start "" /b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://localhost:7001/console %*

If your iexplore.exe is at a different location, kindly give the path accordingly.

localhost is the listen address of the admin server.

7001 is the port number on which my admin server is running.

Make changes accordingly.

3) Save this file as: mohtashim.bat

4) Locate the startup folder in your windows operating system and paste the file "mohtashim.bat" in there.

Restart your windows and you will see the console page come up automatically.

Locating the Startup folder:

This is usually located at C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup in Windows 95, 98, or ME, or at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup in Windows XP. However, it may be at a different location on your computer. You can view the Startup folder in Windows Explorer by clicking the appropriate link (immediately above) if you have used the default; or you can view it by clicking Start | Programs | StartUp.

Other ideas are greatly appreciated.
