My guess: RS-232 (or USB) to a Intel/Linux system doing the actual monitoring. Use that system to send SNMP traps to "the appropriate places". Of course, this means that you could have a z/VM service machine running to receive the trap and issue the SHUTDOWN to z/VM without involving any Linux guest at all. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
