If your linux guests are enabled in /etc/inittab to shutdown in response to CP 
SIGNAL SHUTDOWN USER guest 
then   
CP Q SIGNALS  shows they're enabled and from that you might infer they're 
running (but perhaps not yet at the LOGIN PROMPT like you wanted)

Subject: Verify from z/VM that a Linux guest is up

Hi 

I have written some REXX (with help from this list) to shutdown and my z/Linux 
guests and I also have an EXEC to XAUTOLOG them when I am ready to bring them 
back up. I would like to know if there is a way from z/VM to check something in 
the Linux guest to confirm that in fact the guest is up at least to the LOGIN 
PROMPT?

Thank You,
