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

The result is QGPL/QSTRUP in my case.
 
If you don’t have the source code, You can extract it:

RTVCLSRC QGPL/QSTRUP mylib/QCLSRC

Replace mylib with QGPL as most people store it there, but make a copy of your current source file first
 
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
