Well - Linux works now, and can talk to all the CP services. Linux also comes with Rexx (Regina), XEdit (THE Editor from Tim Hessling), and pipes that are roughly equivalent to CMS Pipelines. Named pipes and message queues and such are all available and under Linux and Solaris, very heavily used.
We're told Linux was so much more suitable because of the tools available and was so much more intuitive to the new generation of systems people. I fail to see what problem we solve by writing system automation using Regina and THE because it will not be easier to maintain or enhance for people used to Perl. Compared to CMS Pipelines, UNIX pipes are a leaky garden hose. In a CMS Pipelines introduction class, people are already beyond the capabilities of UNIX pipes by the time of the first coffee break. Your suggestion that it's roughly equivalent suggest to me you never bothered to look at CMS Pipelines. Rob
