start
The start command starts a program that was previously loaded on the processor
specified. If none is specified, the program is started on the primary processor. The
syntax is:
start [&pn] [address]
&pn
Specifies the processor. n is 0 or 1.
address
The starting address of the program.
halt (or stop)
The halt (or stop) command stops program execution on a secondary CPU that is
still running a booted program. The syntax is:
halt (or stop) processor_number
processor_number is the logical CPU number displayed by the show cpu command.
continue
The continue command resumes program execution on the specified processor or on
the primary processor if none is specified. The processor begins executing
instructions at the address that is currently in the program counter (PC). The
processor is not initialized.
The continue command is valid only if you have not disturbed the system state and
if you halted the system by pressing the Halt button on the control panel or, for
OpenVMS systems only, by entering Ctrl/P on the console terminal. The syntax is:
continue [&pn] [address]
&pn
Specifies the processor. n is 0 or 1.
address
The starting address of the program.
NOTE: Some console commands, for example, boot, can alter the machine state so
that program mode cannot be successfully resumed (unless you include -halt
in the boot command). If program mode cannot be resumed, reboot the
operating system.
Other commands that alter machine state are lfu, show device, show
network, test, and start.
