After shutdown of an OpenVMS I64 system, it reboots automatically only if you have set the
system disk boot option accordingly; otherwise, you must boot the system manually, as described
in Section 3.4.1 (page 72).
When the system reboots, it displays informational messages and accounting information
indicating that your OpenVMS operating system has finished booting and is now ready for use.
For example:
%SET-I-INTSET, login interactive limit = 64, current interactive value = 0
