This just occurred to me. I wonder if I'm suffering from lack of oxygen to the

for a non-active JES2 system. At least as I recall from the past, I did this.
So I got to wondering. Suppose I have a z/Linux system running in the same
complex. Perhaps under z/VM. It might be nice (FSVO nice), if I could logon to
z/Linux and do SDSF ad least to the extent of being able to read SPOOL files.
Of course, being a bit paranoid, I would only allow a READONLY access to the
DASD containing the SPOOL data. And there is always the specter of security.
There may be SPOOL files which I should not be able to even READ (like payroll
or HIPAA reports or ...). So this may be a stupid idea. But the though is
intriguing to me.

In addition to zMan's quandry, I'll add z/VSE, zTPF (which I'll assume
also has some sort of spool). You bring up security, that would be
big. But maybe another question, why SDSF? Why not VM:Spool? Even
bigger... who would write/port it?
Is there really a need to see someone elses spool data from Linux?
z/VSE provides a cool tool called the Navigator which allows a user to
see the spool on a Linux system, but that's more of a desktop tool.
