>From SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM :

$if f$locate("V",p2) .nes. f$length(p2) then stdrv$verify = stdrv$true
$if f$locate("D",p2) .nes. f$length(p2) then stdrv$log = stdrv$true
$if f$locate("C",p2) .nes. f$length(p2) then stdrv$verbose = stdrv$true
$if f$locate("P",p2) .nes. f$length(p2) then stdrv$comp_verify = stdrv$true

So if you include "D" in STARTUP_P2 the startup log file is created. What goes into the log file is determined by the other three options. "V" turns on verification of all startup command procedures and generates a lot of text.

I normally use "DC". That generates a small log file with all relevant (to me)information.

HTH,
