Changes information associated with a startup file in the startup
database.
Requires read (R) and write (W) access to the startup database.
Format
STARTUP MODIFY FILE filespec
1 – Parameters
FILE
Modifies a record in the startup database. SYSMAN modifies
STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED by default.
filespec
Selects a startup file for modification. Wildcard characters are
accepted.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /CONFIRM
/CONFIRM
/NOCONFIRM (default)
Controls whether the STARTUP MODIFY command displays the
file specification of each file before modifying its startup
characteristics in the startup data file and requests you to
confirm that the file characteristics be modified. If you specify
/CONFIRM, you must respond to the prompt with a Y (Yes) or a
T (True) and press Return before the file is modified. If you
enter anything else, such as N or No, the requested file is not
modified.
2.2 /LOG
/LOG
NOLOG (default)
Controls whether the STARTUP MODIFY command displays the file
specification of each file after its startup characteristics have
been modified.
2.3 /MODE
/MODE=mode
Changes the mode of execution for a startup file. Valid modes
include DIRECT, SPAWN, BATCH, or ANY.
2.4 /NAME
/NAME=filespec
Changes the name of the startup file. The file must reside in
SYS$STARTUP.
2.5 /PARAMETER
/PARAMETER=(P1:arg1,P2:arg2,...,P8:arg8)
Changes 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
Selects startup files for modification based on the phase in
which they run. Valid phases include LPBEGIN, LPMAIN, LPBETA, and
END. LPMAIN is the default.
3 – Description
The STARTUP MODIFY command edits startup information associated
with components in the startup database. For example, the command
can rename a file or change the parameters that are passed
to a file during startup. You can select a group of files for
modification based on the phase in which they run.
4 – Example
SYSMAN> STARTUP MODIFY FILE DECSET$ENVMGR_STARTUP.COM -
_SYSMAN> /PARAM=(P3:TRUE,P4:FALSE) /CONFIRM
This command changes two startup parameters for the command
procedure DECSET$ENVMGR_STARTUP.COM.
