Create a SYSSTART file with any text editor. A properly formatted SYSSTART file is
composed of five modules, labeled and placed in the following order: startup, warmstart,

The STARTUP module is executed whenever the SYSSTART file is accessed. Place commands
and parameters specific to an operation under the appropriate heading. If, for instance,
