STARTUP.COM
STARTUP.COM is the site-independent startup command procedure supplied with OpenVMS. It uses a series of command procedures, executable images, and database files to perform the following startup tasks:
- Define systemwide logical names required for the symbolic debugger, language processors, linker, image activator, and help processor.
- Start processes that control error logging, SMISERVER (the system management server), the job controller, the operator log file, and security auditing.
- Connect devices that are physically attached to the system by invoking the SYCONFIG.COM procedure.
