When this option is selected (checked), the System Manager
automatically polls all the entries in the monitored list for current
status whenever the System Manager is restarted. This is
equivalent to selecting Actions >Status Poll from the System
Manager screen.
You can disable this feature if HP-UX HIDS agents are currently
not installed or operational on agent hosts. If the automatic poll
feature is disabled, the System Manager does not attempt to
connect to the agent systems, and you can avoid an unnecessary
delay or timeout at startup.

When this option is selected (checked), the System Manager

whenever the System Manager is restarted. This is equivalent
to selecting Actions > Resync from the System Manager screen.
This option is not available if Automatic Startup Status Poll is
not selected.
You can disable this feature if no HP-UX HIDS agents are
currently installed or operational on agent hosts. With the
