    ---> It seems that under SR9.5, the shell background process symbol
    "&" is ineffective (I've only tried it in "/com/sh", don't know about
    the unix shells).
    Is this a bug?

It ("&") works fine on SR9.5 here in all three shell environments.

$ /systest/lst / >/tmp/disk_space &
$ 

    Oh, and while I'm at it, does anyone know if there is
    a startup file for SPM logins originating from an SIO line
    analagous to the "/sys/node_data/startup.spm" DM script?

/sys/node_data/startup.spm is only read when the Server Process Manager
first comes up to initialize things like SYSTYPE and UNIXLOGIN and to start
servers/daemons like netman when the node boots.  When you "crp" on a node it 
inherits a set of environment variables from the Server Process Manager including
those intialized in the startup.spm file.  So the startup.spm file for the SPM
is analagous to the /sys/node_data/startup.19l{1280bw, etc...} files in that it
is read only once when the DM and/or SPM is first started.

If you are looking for a per login startup file for serial line logins equivalent
to /sys/dm/startup_login.19l{1280bw} for per user login from the DM then that would
be, 

    `node_data/siologin/startup_sio.sh

Every time siologin starts it read this file passing it the number of the SIO line
as the first argument.  See page 9-7 of the BSD4.2 admin guide for more info about
this file and its use for UUCP.
