5.4 Customizing Startup Databases with SYSMAN
Example
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> STARTUP ADD/MODE=DIRECT/PHASE=LPMAIN FOR$LPMAIN_043_STARTUP.COM
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE/NODE
SYSMAN> STARTUP MODIFY FILE FOR$LPMAIN_043_STARTUP.COM/NODE=ZNODE
5.4.8 Deleting a Record from a Startup Database
Deleting a record from a startup database prevents a product from starting up.
To delete a record, use the STARTUP REMOVE FILE command. This command
leaves the startup file intact, but the file is not used in system startup. (The
command requires read and write access to the startup database.)
Note
Do not use STARTUP REMOVE FILE to modify STARTUP$STARTUP_
VMS.
To delete a record from a startup database, enter a STARTUP REMOVE FILE
command in the following format:
STARTUP REMOVE FILE filespec
where filespec specifies the name of the startup file to be removed.
Example
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE/FULL
SYSMAN> STARTUP REMOVE FILE FOR$LPMAIN_043_STARTUP.COM
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE/FULL
SYSMAN> EXIT
5.4.9 Preventing a Startup File from Executing
To temporarily prevent a startup file from executing, enter the STARTUP
DISABLE command. You can specify the /NODE qualifier to disable the startup
file on certain nodes.
This command requires read and write access to the startup database. Do not
use this command to modify STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS.
To delete a record from a startup database, enter the STARTUP DISABLE
command as follows:
STARTUP DISABLE FILE filespec
where filespec specifies the name of the startup file to be disabled.
Example
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE
SYSMAN> STARTUP DISABLE FILE FOR$LPMAIN_043_STARTUP.COM/NODE=ZURICH
5.4.10 Allowing a Previously Disabled Startup File to Execute
If you have disabled a startup file from executing, you can enable it again by
using the STARTUP ENABLE command. You can specify the /NODE qualifier to
enable the startup file on certain nodes.
This command requires read and write access to the startup database. Do not
use this command to modify STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS.
