AmigaOS 3.1 Command Reference

LOADWB


Format:
LOADWB [-DEBUG] [DELAY] [CLEANUP] [NEWPATH]

Template:
-DEBUG/S, DELAY/S, CLEANUP/S, NEWPATH/S

Purpose:
To start Workbench.

Path:
C:LOADWB

Specification:


LOADWB starts the Workbench. Normally, this is done when booting, by placing
the LOADWB command in the Startup- sequence file. If you shut down the
Workbench, LOADWB can beused from a Shell to restart it.

The -DEBUG option makes a special developer menu, Debug, available in the
Workbench menu bar. If the DELAY option is specified, LOADWB waits three
seconds before executing, giving disk activity time to stop. The CLEANUP
option automatically performs a "cleanup" of the window.

Workbench snapshots the current paths in effect when the LOADWB command is
executed. It uses these paths for each Shell started from Workbench. NEWPATH
allows you to specify a new path which is snapshot from the current Shell.

Example 1:

If you have quit the Workbench and are working through a Shell, entering:

1> LOADWB

Will bring the Workbench back. Entering LOADWB when the Workbench is already
loaded has no effect.

Example 2:

1> PATH DF2:bin ADD
1> LOADWB NEWPATH

Loads the Workbench. Any Shells started from the icon will have the same
path as the Shell used to run the LOADWB NEWPATH command.
