To add an application to the hardware attendant, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Hardware Attendant application.
  2. Click on the New button to display a blank Application Settings screen.
  3. Enter the application name in the "Application name" field. (Example: Print Server)
  4. Enter the location of the application in the "Executable name" field, or click on the "…" button to browse for the file on the hard drive. When you see the file, click on it, then click the Open button.
  5. If there are any command-line parameters, enter them into that field (these typically are not specified).
  6. Check the "Autorun" checkbox if you want this application to run when the Hardware Attendant starts.
  7. Check the "Run Minimized" checkbox if you want the application to run in a minimized state.

**Note: Most applications will need both "Autorun" and "Run minimized" options checked.

  1. If you want to set the recovery options, set the time and select what should be done after the first and second failures. For the first and second failures, you can configure the system to either reboot the computer, restart the application, or shutdown the system.
  2. When finished, click the "OK" button.

The Hardware Attendant starts the applications in the order in which they are listed. You can change the run order by highlighting the application name in the Hardware Attendant and using the Move Up or Move Down buttons.
