Boot log file.

Boot log file.

There is a sysgen parameter the when turned on will generate a log file of the startup processes when the system boots.

This log can be directed to any directory you choose.

Re: Boot log file.

Hi Earnest:

I believe that '/etc/rc.log' is what you seek.

Re: Boot log file.

Hi,
Not exact sure what you ask for. The default startup log is /etc/rc.log

Sorry I forgot to mention I'm running OpenVMS v7.3-2 on an Alpha system.

Re: Boot log file.

Would you be looking for STARTUP_P2?

_veli

STARTUP_P2 Controls the setting of verification during the
execution of the system-independent startup
procedure, STARTUP.COM, when STARTUP_P2 has one
of the values described in the lists below.

STARTUP_P2 can be one of the values shown in the
following list:

o F[ALSE], N[O], 0, " "-Verification is not
enabled; in other words, NOVERIFY is performed.

o T[RUE], Y[ES], 1-Verification is enabled; in
other words, a SET VERIFY is performed.

Alternatively, STARTUP_P2 can be a string
containing one or more of the letters shown in
the following list:

o C-Display various checkpointing messages during
startup.

o D-Log (or Dump) the output from the startup to
a file called SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG.

o P-DCL verification is enabled for each
component file, but not for the startup driver.
If both P and V are used, P is ignored.

o V-Full DCL verification is enabled; same as
TRUE.

Refer to the SYSMAN command STARTUP SET OPTIONS
for more information about STARTUP_P2.

Earnest,

Check this documentation:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/DOC/732FINAL/6048/6048pro_006.html#index_x_2334

For STARTUP_P2 or SYSMAN command for generating log files.

Re: Boot log file.

Earnest,

Go into SYSMAN, and look at the HELP text for the STARTUP series of commands.

I believe that you are looking for
$ MCR SYSMAN STARTUP SET OPTIONS/OUTPUT=FILE

But the full possibilities are documented in the help text. This does set one of the STARTUP series of parameters, but the command driven way to do it in SYSMAN is preferable to using SYSGEN to manually flip the parameter).

I hope that the above is helpful.
