Start the ipload utility

To start ipload, type the following at the system prompt ipload.

A decorative splash screen appears and stays on the display while ipload finishes loading. If you do not want to see the splash screen, use the -n flag, ipload -n.

The first time you start ipload, it automatically creates the onpload database. The ipload utility also puts certain default values into the database.

When ipload starts, the main window appears, as the following figure shows.

Tip: To exit from ipload, choose Exit from the Jobs menu.

The onpladm command-line utility provides the same functionality as the ipload graphical user interface.
