I was hoping for an alternative to that route. Been there, done that, wasted a lot of time. That site is *awful*. The only thing positive I can say about it is that it's (slightly) better than the previous one. Really, I'm not really interested in totally rearchitecting the way applications die -- I can cope with there being different ways to deal with that. I just want z/OS to let me know that it got the shutdown initiated signal from the hardware and I should start whatever I need to do to take down the system gracefully. I know the steps -- now all I need is the match to light off the process. Right now, z/OS is fat, dumb, and happy all the way to the firing squad wall of data corruption because it can't see the firing squad coming. Historically, the z/OS folks have fought implementing anything that would play nice with VM for various reasons, but this is hardware originated stuff. No excuses, political or otherwise. At least raise a flag, or something... printing a console message can't be THAT hard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
