Hi Peter, nice to see you're still working in this area! :-)

What I would really like to have is the ability to issue a K E,1 command *without* logging on. Or better yet, being able to set the console into roll mode *without* logon. On those pesky weekends IPLs I get to do I tend to forget that I can use my own id to logon to the console and never remember the supposed name of the console, much more the passowrd for that console name. Unfortunately, they all come up with del=rd and rtme=1, which isn't really nice during IPL and usually leads to WTO buffer shortages. At which point automation issues the commands. Without the need for commands, I would also go for a new parm in consolxx per console that allows to reset the console to del=rd and the specified rtme *after* IPL is through. (I know, how does one define the point where an IPL is done? Especially, as "IPL" are the few architected hardware instructions...) Also, I would not allow even display commands without logon. If someone knows enough to be able to issue a valid display command, they can spy on things.
