SYSMANHELP.HLB  —  STARTUP  ADD
    Adds a component to the startup database.

    Requires read (R)  and write (W) access to the startup database.

    Format

      STARTUP ADD  FILE filespec

1  –  Parameters 

 FILE

    Adds a component to the startup database. SYSMAN modifies
    STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED by default.

 filespec

    Specifies which file to add to the startup database. Each
    component of the startup database must have a file type of .COM
    or .EXE and reside in SYS$STARTUP.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /CONFIRM 

       /CONFIRM
       /NOCONFIRM (default)

    Controls whether SYSMAN displays the file specification of each
    file before adding it to the startup database and requests you to
    confirm the addition. If you specify /CONFIRM, you must respond
    to the prompt with a Y (Yes) or a T (True) and press Return
    before the file is added. If you enter anything else, such as
    N or No, the requested file is not added.

2.2    /LOG 

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Controls whether the STARTUP ADD command displays the file
    specification of each file after it has been added.

2.3    /MODE 

       /MODE=mode

    Specifies the mode of execution for the file. Valid modes include
    DIRECT, SPAWN, BATCH, or ANY.

2.4    /NODE 

       /NODE=(node1,node2,...,noden)

    Names the nodes within the cluster that run the file during
    startup. By default, a startup file executes on all nodes in
    the cluster.

2.5    /PARAMETER 

       /PARAMETER=(P1:arg1,P2:arg2,...,P8:arg8)

    Specifies the parameters that are to be passed to the file
    during startup. Parameters that are omitted receive the default
    parameters defined by the system parameter STARTUP_Pn. If
    STARTUP_Pn is blank, "FULL" is used as parameter 1 (P1) and is
    passed by STARTUP.COM to each startup component file. If you want
    a blank P1 parameter given to a specific component file, use the
    command:

    SYSMAN> STARTUP MODIFY FILE component.com/PARAM=P1:""

2.6    /PHASE 

       /PHASE=phase-name

    Indicates the phase within system startup when the file is to be
    executed. Valid phases include LPBEGIN, LPMAIN, LPBETA, and END.
    LPMAIN is the default.

3  –  Description 

    The STARTUP ADD command adds a component to the startup database.
    Startup components are the command procedures or executable files
    that perform actual startup work. Files from the startup database
    are used to start the operating system, site-specific programs,
    and layered products. STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS and STARTUP$STARTUP_
    LAYERED list the components of the startup database.

    Because an OpenVMS Cluster typically shares one copy of the
    startup database, the SYSMAN environment can be defined as
    clustered or as a single node within the cluster.

4  –  Example 

  SYSMAN> STARTUP ADD FILE /MODE=DIRECT /PHASE=LPMAIN -
  _SYSMAN> DECSET$ENVMGR_STARTUP.COM

      This command adds a record to the startup database that starts
      the DECSET environment manager software.
