The reason I have the SETCOUNTER logic in our backup job is as a fallback protection in case the system is booted without SYSSTART. When my S.E. comes out to do installation of MPE or patches she routinely disables my SYSSTART and UDC's. Sometimes, due to time pressures to get the system back on the air for the users after one of these types of boots, SYSSTART is never executed. So, the backup job is there as insurance that everything gets back to normal without having to worry about what got forgotten. Redundancy never hurts. I have the same philosophy about bugs and often have them fixed by multiple means to insure they cannot come up again to bite me. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
