To Reference a Properties File in the DHCP Vendor Options

Use the -i flag described in Table 9-6 in a dhcptab macro (see Chapter 8, Booting the JavaStation Using Solaris). The relevant line of the macro should have the following syntax:

JOScmd1="-ihttp://
hostname[:port_number]/
filename"

The text file should contain property settings using the flags described in Table 9-6 and can also include arguments. Each property setting and argument is typed on a separate line, with the separator hyphens on their own line, as follows:

-Duser.timezone=PST
-djavaos.login=false
--
http://www.sun.com

The following is a sample properties text file.
