I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood something somewhere. From what I
understood, the problem was that when a remote NFS server is rebooted, you
have to remount the NFS file system on z/OS, and then there needs to be a
file access attempt before you can actually access the files in the file
system.
So what I was suggesting was to put the touch command in a batch job after
the remount command, so that the file access attempt happens right after
the file system is remounted. If it's a different problem you're trying to
solve, the touch command won't help.
