Short: Disables WBStartup/User-Startup on bootup
Author: SFX@appl2.hrz.uni-siegen.de (Lars SFX Eilebrecht)
Uploader: SFX@appl2.hrz.uni-siegen.de (Lars SFX Eilebrecht)
Type: util/boot
ShadowStart is a small utility that should be called from the
startup-sequence.
If the activation-key is pressed down a requester pops up, asking
you if you want the WBStartup-drawer, the User-Startup script
or both to be disabled.
This means, you can bootup a "clean" Workbench, without any programs
in WBStartup or User-Startup executed!
Since version 1.1 a new button called "NewShell" is available, which
simply opens a shell window for changing things befor the
startup-sequence is executed.
Two versions of ShadowStart are included, one for OS 3.1 and
one for OS 2.0+.
NEW FEATURE FOR VERSION 1.3:
Before any key checks are performed ShadowStart checks if the
SYS: partition is currently being validated.
If yes, Shadowstart waits 3 seconds and checks the disk state again.
When the validation is finished, ShadowStart automatically
continues with its normal execution.
The main effect of this feature is that startup execution will
be delayed until the SYS: partition is validated
(no more disk-trashing on startup).
The validation check is always performed, if the activation-key
is pressed or not.
just take a look at it... :-)
