       /AUTOCONNECT
       /NOAUTOCONNECT

    Specifies whether connection attempts should be retried
    automatically when a connection fails because a service is
    unknown or unavailable, or because a node is unknown or
    unreachable. Also specifies that reconnects should be attempted
    automatically if a service has disconnected abnormally. The
    default is /NOAUTOCONNECT.
