As I was building the workerbee guest I was think of exactly what you described. I am already thinking of other uses. Thanks!
Thank you, Scott -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Tom Rae Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 4:22 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: VMUTIL Executing a long running EXEC 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.
