5.4 Customizing Startup Databases with SYSMAN
5.4.5 Showing the Contents of a Startup Database
To display the contents of the current database, enter the STARTUP SHOW FILE
command. You can specify various qualifiers for this command to control the
amount of information displayed. For more information, refer to the OpenVMS
System Management Utilities Reference Manual.
Example
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE/FULL
5.4.6 Adding Startup Files to a Startup Database
To add a file to the layered product startup database, use the STARTUP ADD
command. The /MODE qualifier specifies the mode of execution for the file. The
/PHASE qualifier specifies the phase within system startup when the file is
to be executed. For information about the layered product startup phases, see
Section 5.4.2.
Do not use this command to modify STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS; this command
procedure starts the operating system. The STARTUP MODIFY command
requires read and write access to the startup database.
When adding layered product startup files using SYSMAN, be sure that all
requisite components occur in a previous phase.
Enter the STARTUP ADD command with appropriate qualifiers. For information
about the valid qualifiers, refer to the SYSMAN section of the OpenVMS System
Management Utilities Reference Manual.
Example
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW DATABASE
%SYSMAN-I-DATANAME, STARTUP database is STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
SYSMAN> STARTUP ADD FILE/MODE=DIRECT/PHASE=LPMAIN FOR$LPMAIN_043_STARTUP.COM
5.4.7 Changing Information Associated with a Startup File
Once a file is included in the layered product startup database, you can modify
the information associated with the file by entering the STARTUP MODIFY
command. (The command requires read and write access to the startup database.)
Note
Do not use STARTUP MODIFY to modify STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS.
You can specify any of the following qualifiers to specify the information that is to
be changed:
• /MODE
• /NAME=filespec
• /PARAMETER=(P1:arg1, P2:arg2,...)
• /PHASE
For information about the qualifiers for this command, refer to the OpenVMS
System Management Utilities Reference Manual.
