State Modifier
Modifiers
098571 Tandem Computers Incorporated 4–3
In the following command, ONLY modifies both LONDON and TCP2, so the
command starts LONDON SNAX lines and TCP2, but not their subordinate objects.
Because TCP1 has its own hierarchy modifier, which is ALL, TCP1 and all its
subordinate objects are started.
START SNAX LINE LONDON, TCP1 ALL, TCP2, ONLY
Because ALL is the default value for the hierarchy modifier, the following two
commands are equivalent:
START SNAX LINE LONDON, TCP1, TCP2 ONLY
START SNAX LINE LONDON, TCP1, TCP2 ONLY, ALL
State Modifier After hierarchy modifiers (if any) are applied to the object specifications, the state
modifier is applied to the resulting objects. The state modifier further limits the scope
of the command to objects that are in certain states. If you do not specify a state
modifier, DSNM applies the command regardless of the objects’ states. START, STOP,
and ABORT—DSNM commands that change objects’ states—are ineffective against
objects that are already in the specified states.
The values of the state modifier are:
UP DSNM applies the command only to those objects that are up.
NOT-UP DSNM applies the command only to those objects that are down,
pending, undefined, or unknown.
DOWN DSNM applies the command only to those objects that are down.
NOT-DOWN DSNM applies the command only to those objects that are up,
pending, undefined, or unknown.
See Section 5, “Subsystems,” for information on the subsystem states that are
associated with the state modifier values.
Note The state modifier is ignored if it is combined with any of the following response modifiers: SUMMARY,
SUMMARY-BYOBJECT, and SUMMARY-BYTYPE. These response modifiers are valid only with the
STATUS and INQUIRE commands.
