Hi I am revisiting this now and I am having some trouble that someone might be able to help me with. From my test z/Linux host I am issuing:
vmcp msg operator I am up But this message keeps going to MAINT userid instead of OPERATOR which is where the command is telling it to go. Am I missing something?

Sending a warning requires CP class A, B, or C and I hope nobody gives a Linux machine those privileges! Terry, it sounds like you may want to look at a some system automation software such as VM Operations manager or a similar product.
