The DSM.OPT is only read when the scheduler has been restarted (for
automatic backups) or when the manual or web interface is stopped (if it was
running when you modified the DSM.OPT) and started again.

Subject: when is dsm.opt read?


Server 5.1.1    client Netware 4.2 with 4.2.1 client software

If I make a change to the DSM.OPT, will it take effect at the next backup?
(Does the dsm.opt get read every time, or just when the acceptor ( dsmcad
)is loaded? )
                                Thanks, Doug
