VMS 7.2-2 
I would like to log the progress of the system boot. It would be neat to do this to operator.log 

I've seen examples where at the end of systartup_vms.com there is a command at the end along the lines of 

REPLY/ALL/BELL "SYSTEM UP" 

I was hoping to do something similar and have the messages recorded in the operator.log

The background is a recent incident where a boot didn't fully complete. A script invoked from systartup_vms.com bombed because of nameserver problems (the 3 nameservers are external systems). I'll add SET NOON to this script to make it more robust, but would still like to record progress.
