Then "yourvm" can execute CP SEND targetvm commands that will execute on it's console and the results returned to "yourvm"'s console. There's nothing to setup, except for any code you may want to write to send commands to a farm of Linux machines (simple to write in REXX).

This user can then "take control" of the Linux virtual machine console by using the CP SEND command. You can also dynamically become a virtual machine's secuser using the SET SECUSER command. You can use the PIPE STARMSG stage to trap the IUCV responses from Linux guests and respond accordingly.

For shutdown, you have to roll your own.
