Phillip, Looking in the "USER DIRECT distributed with z/VM 5.3.0 there is no userid called "SERVICE". What release of VM are you running? It seems that some application installed at your site defined the userid "SERVICE".
Can you check the directory entry for "SERVICE" to see what minidisks it owns and the LINK to them to see what's on them (besides the "PROFILE EXEC")? Checking to see what it is doing can also be done with the TRACK command. You can download and install TRACK from: http://vm.marist.edu/track/code.html Once you begin using TRACK you won't ever want to run a z/VM system without it. It should be in every serious z/VM System Programmer's tool box.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 04/07/2008 11:41 AM Please respond to "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject newbie question - SERVICE machine what is the SERVICE machine for? i don't see it started in AUTOLOG1, yet there it is running. and it is not running disconnected, but on a terminal address. a look at its PROFILE EXEC doesn't reveal anything. searching on 'service' in the CP Planning and Admin book has so many hits that i gave up and turned to the VM list. what does it do? where does it get started? can it run disconnected? the underlying issue is that i want to remove a 3174 controller and it is using one of the addresses. do i need to give it an address on my OSA-ICC? prg Phillip Gramly Systems Programmer Communications Data Group Champaign, IL The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
