I don't know how you deal with your RSCS consoles on a regular basis, but when you close the file to yourself you risk losing it from whatever usually accumulates them. We have the V/Seg feature of VM:Spool, which includes two functions useful here: 1) viewing the open spool file, and 2) the CONSOLES user which accumulates daily console logs as disk files. This could be mimiced pretty easily with a CMS server accepting closed spool files and saving them in an SFS directory for viewing by you. Then the CP SPOOL CLOSE command would be directed to the server machine to append the incoming file to the current log. The WAKEUP command running in the server machine can both schedule CLOSEs of the console, and react to the arrival of the spool file. Note that if RSCS is hung, then your SMSG will not help. In such a case you might prefer SEND CP RSCS SPOOL CON... (Needs more than Class G, but I don't remember for sure which, maybe B or C). Again, on Friday I am home and not with docs, but I think its possible to save the file you are purging so that it can be tried again after restarting the link.
