Hi Scott,
As numerous others have suggested, you should set up VMUTIL to XAUTOLOG
another userid that will execute the long-running EXEC and return
completion information via a mechanism of your choice. My $0.05 worth is
that this is a perfect opportunity to exploit "POOL" userids, which
enable the creation of an arbitrary, and easily changeable, set of
identically configured userids via a single pair of CP Directory INCLUDE
and USER entries.Where permitted by local security rules I routinely set
up my own personal pool of slave userids, which have read access to my
minidisks and write access to my SFS directories, that I use to offload
from my primary userid any task that takes more than a couple of seconds
to run. This can be a great productivity enhancer!
Regards,
Tom.

I have a REXX EXEC that is triggered by VMUTIL and it runs 90 minutes.
While this EXEC is running VMUTIL is not acting on any other items in
the WAKEUP file. Which makes sense. My question is how can I have
VMUTIL trigger a long running EXEC?
Thank you,
