Kann ich OS/2 dazu bringen, nur in einen Textmodus zu booten, ohne automatisch die Workplace Shell zu starten ?



Ja, sie können OS/2 anstelle der Workplace Shell eine Kommandozeile starten lassen.

Suchen sie nach diesen Zeilen in ihrer CONFIG.SYS:

PROTSHELL=C:\OS2\PMSHELL.EXE
SET RUNWORKPLACE=C:\OS2\PMSHELL.EXE

PMSHELL.EXE ist die Programmdatei für die Workplace Shell. Sie können diese Shell mit einer OS/2 Kommandozeilen Shell ersetzen, indem sie PMSHELL.EXE durch CMD.EXE oder jede andere dafür geeignete OS/2 basierende Shell ersetzen. Wenn sie lediglich ein zeichenorientiertes single tasking System möchten, ändern sie nur die PROTSHELL (steht für PROTected mode SHELL) Zeile. Wenn sie dagegen mehrere Sessions und den Presentation Manager ohne die Workplace Shell möchten, ändern sie nur die RUNWORKPLACE Zeile. Nur diese Zeile zu ersetzen, führt dazu, daß das System zwar bis zu einem grafischen Bildschirm bootet, aber nicht ihre Oberfläche oder die Workplace Shell startet. Sie sehen dann lediglich ein Textmode Fenster mit Namen "Workplace Shell" auf dem Bildschirm. Wenn sie in diesem Fenster ihre Kommandos eingegeben haben und die WPS starten möchten, geben sie einfach START /N PMSHELL ein.


Can I make OS/2 boot into a text-based shell without automatically starting the Workplace Shell?


Yes, you can have OS/2 start a command-prompt shell instead of the Workplace Shell. Look for these lines in your CONFIG.SYS file:

PROTSHELL=C:\OS2\PMSHELL.EXE
SET RUNWORKPLACE=C:\OS2\PMSHELL.EXE

PMSHELL.EXE is the executable file for the Workplace Shell. You can replace that shell with the OS/2 command-line shell by replacing PMSHELL.EXE with CMD.EXE, or any other OS/2-based shell for that matter. If you want a single-tasking character-based system only, replace the PROTSHELL (which stands for Protected Mode Shell). If you want multiple sessions and the Presentation Manager without the Workplace Shell, replace just the RUNWORKPLACE line. Replacing only RUNWORKPLACE will cause your system to boot into a graphical screen, but will not open your desktop or start the Workplace Shell. You will have one open text-based window labeled "Workplace Shell" on your screen. Once you are done issuing commands and want to launch the Workplace Shell, type:

START /N PMSHELL



How can set the size of my command-line windows so that they will open to the same size every time??


Hold down the Shift key while maximizing or resizing a windowed command line. Each new command line window opened will conform to that size and shape.


How can I get Presentation Manager programs to start minimized? Only DOS and Windows programs give me that option.


Normally, you can't. However, you can trick the Workplace Shell into giving you the option to run a program minimized by deliberately misspelling the name of the program on the first page of the settings notebook. Since the notebook can't find the program you are referring to and identify it as a PM program, it will give you the setting to run it minimized. Simply misspell the name of the program, set the minimize parameter, and return to correct the name of the program. Not elegant, but it works.
