Nah, nothing so complicated, it's just an OS/2 batchfile you
stick in the root of your system bootup directory to run
things you wish run each time you boot.  Mine's

	detach I:\MMOS2\ESDAEMON ES18691$
	cd D:\os2\cron
	D:
	detach cron > i:\cron.log > i:\cron.err
	EXIT

That said, REXX (none of that in here, as you can see) is
definitely worth knowing -- not that I do very well, but an
extremely rich and useful scripting language, about as easy
to learn as something so thorough can be.
