I want the userid 'logged off' - the guest control blocks out of z/VM memory - and then for it to come up via XAUTOLOG or whatever method would reload the guest back into memory with the current directory info as when you XAUTOLOG...

I suppose I'm looking for a CP command which instead of allowing the guest to say.. IPL - actually signals it off (respecting signal times) and brings it immediately back. This would be nice for Linux guests -- say their directory is updated to allow more memory ... if they could issue 'vmcp recycle' at their convenience - it could be very handy. I know can I can have a CMS guest sit there - wait for a msg/smsg - and do it fairly easily.. The Linux guest would issue "msg recyclvm recycle" for example. The recycle routine on recyclvm would issue the signal shutdown -- wait for the guest to go down - and then immediately xautolog it. Just looking for ideas.. thanks! Scott Rohling
