1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
StartUpCtl is an extension to the Startup process found on Motorola enterprise
mobility devices. The Startup process starts the execution of certain file types
when a mobile device is reset, enabling applications to be installed and/or run.
The Startup process is documented in the publication “White Paper – Installing
Applications for Persistence” which can be found at
http://support.symbol.com
Figure 1
While the Startup process is running any files that are in the \Application\Startup
folder (see Figure 1) is executed. StartUpCtl also allows the user to control the
order of those files that are executed on a reboot of the mobile device.
1.2 Terminology
To try and avoid confusion, throughout this document, a Cleanboot on a
Windows Mobile 5.0 device and a Coldboot on a Windows CE or Pocket PC
device is referred to as Restore. A Warmboot is referred to as Reset.
