MCR SYSMAN STARTUP — VMS 5.2

 Use STARTUP to add, modify, display and remove components for the
 STARTUP component files used when starting VAX/VMS during a system
 boot.  Use of this command requires access to the STARTUP database
 file.

SHOW

ADD

 Use the ADD command to add a component to the
 startup component database.

 Format:
   STARTUP ADD FILE filename

Additional information available:

filenameCommand QualifiersExamples

filename

 Startup component filenames should include only a name and a
 file type. The file type should be .COM or .EXE.  The file
 should be located in SYS$STARTUP or SYS$MANAGER.  This requires
 READ and WRITE access to the STARTUP component database.

Command Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/CONFIRM/LOG/MODE/NODE/PARAMETERS/PHASE

/CONFIRM

 /NOCONFIRM [Default]

 Specifies if the operation should be confirmed.  If /CONFIRM is
 specified you will be asked to confirm your request to add a new
 entry in the  component file.

/LOG

 /NOLOG [Default]

 Determines if the ADD command echoes the name and phase of the
 component added to the component database.

/MODE

 /MODE=execution-mode

 Specifies the mode that the component file should be executed in.
 Valid modes are DIRECT, SPAWN, BATCH, CALLED or ANY.

/NODE

 /NODE=node_list

 Specifies the node(s) that the component file should be executed on.

 A node list is either a single node, LARRY, a list of nodes, like
 (LARRY, CURLY, MOE), or * meaning ALL nodes.

/PARAMETERS

 /PARAMETERS=(Pn:[value],...)

 Specifies the parameters which are to be sent to the component
 file during startup.  Parameters which are omitted receive the
 default parameters defined by the STARTUP_Pn sysgen parameters.

 Specifying a parameter without a value will force that parameter
 to be empty during startup.

/PHASE

 /PHASE=phase_name

 Specifies the phase that the component file should be executed
 in. If omitted, the phase defaults to LPMAIN.

Examples

 SYSMAN> STARTUP ADD FILE MY_PRODUCT.COM

 Component file SYS$STARTUP:MY_PRODUCT.COM is added to the component
 database.  This file will execute in the LPMAIN phase in DIRECT mode,
 on all nodes in the cluster, and with the default parameter set.

 SYSMAN> STARTUP ADD FILE MY_PRODUCT.COM/PARAM=(P2,P3:TRUE)/PHASE=LPBETA

 Component file SYS$STARTUP:MY_PRODUCT.COM is added to the component
 database.  This file will execute in the LPBETA phase in DIRECT mode,
 on all nodes in the cluster, with parameter 2 (P2) set blank, P3 set
 to TRUE, and P1, P4, P5, etc. set to their default values.

CREATE

 Creates a new, empty startup component database.  This component
 database will supersede the current component database of the same
 name, if any.

 Format:
   STARTUP CREATE [component-database]

Additional information available:

component-databaseCommand qualifiersExamples

component-database

 A VAX/VMS file specification.  The device/directory specification
 should be either SYS$STARTUP or SYS$MANAGER.  If a component
 database is named, an empty file with that name will be created
 and will become the current data file (see SET/SHOW DATABASE).
 If no component database is named, the current component database
 name will be used.  At a minimum, READ access to the named file
 is required.

Command qualifiers

Additional information available:

/CONFIRM

/CONFIRM

 /NOCONFIRM

 Specifies if the operation should be confirmed.  The default is
 yes, meaning you will be asked to confirm your request before
 the component database is created.

Examples

 SYSMAN> STARTUP CREATE SYS$STARTUP:N.DAT
 do you wish to create a new component database SYS$STARTUP:N.DAT? [N]:>Y
 %SYSMAN-I-NEWCOMPFIL, current component database is now SYS$STARTUP:N.DAT

 This dialogue shows the creation of a new component database named
 SYS$STARTUP:N.DAT.  Subsequent STARTUP command will affect this
 data file.  READ and WRITE access to this file is required.

REMOVE

 Deletes one or more component files from the STARTUP component database.
 Requires WRITE access to the component database.

 Format:
   STARTUP REMOVE FILE component-name

Additional information available:

component-nameCommand Qualifiers

component-name

 Specifies the component file(s) you are interested in.  You
 should specify only a file name and a file type.  Wildcard
 characters (% and *) may be used freely.

Command Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/CONFIRM/LOG/PHASE

/CONFIRM

 /NOCONFIRM

 Controls whether a request is issued before each individual
 REMOVE operation to confirm that the operation should be
 performed on that file.

/LOG

 /NOLOG [D]

 Determines if the REMOVE command displays the names of the
 components removed from the component database.

/PHASE

 /PHASE=phase

 Selects all components within a specified phase.

DISABLE

 Disables a component file so that it is not executed.

 Format:
   STARTUP DISABLE FILE component-file

Additional information available:

component-fileCommand Qualifiers

component-file

 Specified the file(s) you are interested in.  You should specify
 only a file name and a file type.  Wildcard characters (% and *)
 may be used freely.

Command Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/LOG/PHASE/NODE

/LOG

 /NOLOG [default]

 Determines if the DISABLE command displays the names of the
 components which are disabled.

/PHASE

 /PHASE=phase

 Selects all components within a specified phase that match
 'component-file'.

/NODE

 /NODE=node-list

 Selects which node(s) the component file is NOT to be executed
 on. If this qualifier is omitted, the component file is not
 executed on any nodes.

 'node_list' is either a single node, LARRY, a list of nodes,
 like (LARRY, CURLY, MOE), or * meaning ALL nodes.


ENABLE

 Enables a component file so that it is executed during system startup.

 Format:
   STARTUP ENABLE FILE component-file
