With WAKEUP you only get the command to wake up for various events. And yes, HELP WAKEUP tells you all about it.
But, to make a server like VMUTIL, some REXX code (or EXEC1 or EXEC2 if you insist) is needed around WAKEUP. Ages ago, IBM shipped a VMUTIL server with some execs written in EXEC2. When I created a server to automate VMPRF, I made it much more powerfull than VMUTIL, and we got more and more servers using almost the same code. Each enhancement to the kernel had to be applied to all our servers, a tedious task. Eventually, IBM's VMUTIL execs got replaced by my kernel code too. Some day we decided to make an "official" kernel and provide exit points at crucial places. Exits points are pieces of REXX code added to the kernel that allow making servers do more specific tasks than a general VMTUL. In fact, the exit points for VMUTIL are almost empty, the only exit point is to recognize MSG01 as command (MSG01 was a standard command in IBM's old VMUTIL). 2007/7/26, Nick Laflamme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

As others have noted, there are more powerful versions of WAKEUP or programs like WAKEUP than what ships with VM itself, but for many shops, the shipped-by-IBM version of WAKEUP is in use already, so the shipped-by-IBM documentation can be of use, too.
