Hum, thanks for the information. That would be easier. I was trying to avoid the setup / teardown that goes on with SSH. Some of the even wilder things that I was thinking might be able to go through this would be things like an SDSF display session (using the REXX api to send commands and get information back to the z/OS daemon). Running some TSO commands (the ones that work in a UNIX "address tso" REXX environment). Running z/OS UNIX commands, including scripts. Of course, for the file stuff, I could also look at the FUSE sshfs in Linux. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
