Modify QSTRUP startup program
It may be useful to change Iseries AS400 startup program. You may want to have a permanent mounted share with MKDIR command line for instance.
I’m saying program as QSTRUP is a compiled program, rather than a simple text file.
To get startup program and library, run:
DSPSYSVAL QSTRUPPGM
Result is QSTRUP/QGPL in my case.
If you don’t have the source code, go through this article that explains how to generate it: http://www.as400network.com/Resources/ClubTech/TNT400/bo400ng/AS400Q0076.htm
To edit the source code, launch the development manager:
STRPDM
Enter option 3: Members management, file QCLSRC and library QGPL
Enter option 2: EDIT
Go on with the changes and save
Option 14: COMPILE
The new program will run from now on at the next IPL (reboot).
You can also process startup logs. Here’s a really good article: http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh092302-story04.html
