Hi
I wrote a REXX EXEC to shutdown my z/Linux guests based on some answers to some prompts. I wrote in the exec to give me the flexibility to specify one guest at a time to shutdown or ALL guests. The issue I am having is when I execute the exec on the console for a guest and while it is running I happen to hit the enter key the exec is interrupted and the guest is logged off without completing the shutdown scripts within the Linux guest itself. For systems like Oracle if this is interrupted and the shutdown scripts do not complete this can cause some not so pretty things to go wrong with the Oracle disks. Also if I want to bring them all down at the same time when one completed and I get into a VM READ if I hit enter that disrupts them all. I have a copy of the exec but did not want to paste because of its length and cannot attach here so if have some thoughts and need to look at the exec let me know where I can email and attach the exec. Any help would be appreciated....
