About the ON CONNECT/PACK command
The ON CONNECT/PACK command is useful for running a specific command file whenever a database is connected or packed. A common use would be to run a command file that does an AUTOCHK command before connecting. The ABORT ON command could then be used to cause the CONNECT/PACK to be aborted after the command file finishes.
