set_preference_autoload

Synopsis

Automatically loads the chips.rc file into preferences when the ChIPS server starts up.

set_preference_autoload( toggle )

Description

• toggle - a boolean flag to indicate whether the preferences should be loaded when the server starts up; see the Booleans section of "ahelp chipsopt"

The set_preference_autoload command tell ChIPS that when the server is started it should load the user's default preferences.

This is similar to calling load_preferences without any arguments. The difference is that load_preferences will start a chips server (if necessary) and load the preferences, while set_preference_autoload does not cause a server to be created. If a server already exists, this command does nothing.

Example

chips> set_preference_autoload(True)
chips> connect()

Preferences will be loaded after the connection to the server is established.
