You were passing the 'halt' to bootshell.

My memory is gone these days... But sles7 we did something like this:
"CP SET SECUSER" linux.i "*"
if rc > 0 then do
say "===> Could not establish secondary console for" linux.i,
"RC =" rc
end
dummy = diag("08","SEND" linux.i "halt")
"CP SLEEP 1 SEC"
"CP SET SECUSER" linux.i "OPERATOR"
end
It sent the "halt" in lower case.
What I've forgotten is what halt called :) Undoubtedly, it is here on
the
archives of this list from around 2002 or 2003.
Alternatively, is having root always logged into the console an option
(we
consider that safe since you have to login to VM first to get the
console
anyway)?

Subject: [IBMVM] Linux shutdown and DoD restrictions
I am wondering if there is anyone who has automated the shutdown of
linux=
instances in z/VM, that has to follow the Department of Defense (DoD)
requirements? The requirements, I am referring to, are the Security
Technical Implementation Guide (STIG).
The SIGNAL command would be the perfect solution, but it requires
enablin= g
the CTL-ALT-DEL function under linux. According to the STIG, the
CTL-ATL-DEL function cannot be enable.
I have tried using the CP SEND command, in a REXX EXEC, to send the
useri= d
and password to linux, but z/VM changes the case of the letter from
lower=
to upper. Another problem according to the STIG. All passwords must be
mix= ed case. Is there a way for z/VM to not change the case of the
letter?
Is there another way to automate the shutdown of the linux instances?
Looking for any help
Charles
