itself. ie, have it look for a specific flag in a record, or have it check
for a specific command line argument, so that when it starts, the startup code
checks that 'trigger', and then stops...effectively 'bypassing' the startup
stuff. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

change of strategy.... some "trigger" within the db itself that knows when to
reset the check -- such a "clue" may not exist. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
