There would have to be some restrictions on that commands you can issue -- SHUTDOWN would be, like, bad. SAVESYS? IPL? Do these directory commands come before or after the IPL that's already in the directory? Etc., etc., etc. (No, you can't just restrict it to Class G commands -- someone will make SAVESYS or SHUTDOWN a Class G command. Yeah, your gun your foot, but an *unintuitive* gun and foot, and this is VM, not some other OS).
If I were doing it at IBM, I would add an extra operand to the directory SPOOL statement such as: SPOOL 009 . . . . . AUTOstart [to userid|*] and logon would simply do a bit more upon creating the vdev. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
