NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

Startup
You can use startup command files to automate the starting of devices and processes on the system,
which minimizes the possibility of operator errors caused by forgotten or mistyped commands.
The system is shipped with a basic startup file named CIIN, located on the $SYSTEM.SYS00
subvolume. The CIIN file must be specified in a particular way. See “CIIN File” (page 203) for more
information.
After the commands in the CIIN file are executed, other startup files can be invoked either
automatically, from another startup file, or manually in commands entered by the operator. The
startup file sequence usually starts the spooler and other system software first and then starts
applications.
Shutdown
Automating system shutdown with a collection of shutdown files helps the operator bring the system
to an orderly halt. The shutdown file sequence reverses the order of commands in the startup file
sequence: applications are shut down first, followed by the spooler and other system software.

Processes That Represent the System Console
On NonStop systems, the system console is a pair of windows on a LAN-connected system console.
It is represented by the processes $YMIOP.#CLCI and $YMIOP.#CNSL, and the home terminal is
represented by the $ZHOME process pair.
$YMIOP.#CLCI
$YMIOP.#CLCI is the primary interactive terminal for the operator interface to the system.
This process:
• Runs on the system console
• Is preconfigured on your system during system generation
TACL processes are started on $YMIOP.#CLCI by commands in the CIIN file. If a read operation
is pending, such as a TACL prompt on $YMIOP.#CLCI, write operations are blocked, causing the
process attempting the write operation to wait indefinitely.
$YMIOP.#CNSL
$YMIOP.#CNSL is a write-only device for logging.
This process:
• Runs on the system console
• Is preconfigured on your system during system generation
