[Info-vax] DECwindows no longer starting on satellite (was: Cluster boot delay)

Thanks. Now I have a different problem.
My two-node cluster had been booting and running OK. However, I needed
to execute certain node-specific commands at startup so I wrote a
command procedure (NODE_SPECIFIC_START.COM) and put it in
SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]. I did this on each node separately.
Then I put the following line in SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
$ @SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR]NODE_SPECIFIC_START.COM
So far, so good. Except this appears to have broken the last line in my
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM script, which starts DEC Windows:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:DECEVENT$STARTUP.COM
The boot server node, which doesn't have a graphics card, reacts to this
command as it did before (i.e., it tells me "No graphics card found, not
starting DECwindows." or something to that effect).
However, on the satellite node, which had been booting into DECwindows
just fine, I now get the following error when it runs the
DECEVENT$STARTUP script:
%DCL-E-OPENOUT, error opening DIA$:[MANAGER]DECEVENT_START.TMPCOM; as output
-RMS-E-DNF, directory not found
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
%PURGE-W-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for
DIA$:[MANAGER]DECEVENT_START.TMPCOM;
-RMS-E-DNF, directory not found
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
If I'm not mistaken, DECwindows *did* start after these error messages
were displayed. Once. But after the next reboot all I get are these
messages and no DECwindows.
I get the same error messages (and no DECwindows) when I try to run
DECEVENT$START interactively.
Any ideas will be appreciated, as always.
