MAINT should be fine. You don't need to use OBEYFILE if all you're trying to do is start a device (which is what I thought your question asked). The commands I mentioned will do that just fine. If you need to configure a device, IFCONFIG can take care of that as well and IMO tends to be significantly more straightforward than OBEYFILE. See TCP/IP Planning and Customization or HELP TCPIP IFCONFIG for command options.
