Starts a monitoring component within the OpenVMS Registry server.

    This command requires the SYSPRV privilege or the REG$PERFORMANCE
    rights identifier.

    Format:

      START MONITORING/FILE  [name]

      START MONITORING/PERFORMANCE

    name

    Identifies the file (used with the /FILE qualifier only).

1  –  Qualifiers

1.1    /FILE

    Start gathering counters for the specified file or for all files.

1.2    /PERFORMANCE

    Start gathering performance counters.

1.3    /WAIT

    /WAIT=seconds (default = 90)
    /NOWAIT

    Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that you are
    willing to wait for command completion.  If the Registry server
    does not complete the request in the specified interval, REG$CP
    returns REG-F-NORESPONSE. The default interval is 90 seconds.
    /NOWAIT is equivalent to specifying /WAIT=0, but there may still
    be a short wait period.
