Most of you should be familiar with the "pop-up" screen that gets 
displayed when OS/2 detects an exception (e.g. Trap D).  My question is,
is there any way to disable these pop-ups?  The reason why I need this
disabled is that I am running a group of applications on an unattended
system (no keyboard or display).  In the unlikely (:-) case that one
of the applications fails I would like to detect it and restart it the
application.  I have the mechanism to detect/restart worked out.  The
problem is that if the application fails due to an exception, OS/2 is
now sitting there waiting for a keyboard press!

Any suggestions/questions would be appreciated.

I believe the AUTOFAIL line in CONFIG.SYS does what you want.  Check
the online command reference for more information.
