If you have the no-cost SSH add-on for z/OS installed, I don't see why that couldn't be used to run scripts on your Linux systems from a dialog or a batch job step.

We'd never be using it that much. What is has allowed us to do is easily run a Linux script from the step of a batch job on z/OS on a targeted Linux system. This has allowed us to make a WebSphere component shutdown/startup/status ISPF dialogue, as well as be able to keep the scripts we wish to run in a RACF secured dataset on z/OS disk so that the scripts do not live on the z/Series Linux guests at all, merely run there and then end. The good folken at Sine Nomine did an nje/rje thing, but I'm not sure if that fits the bill or not. What I'm looking for is some way to drive events on Linux from within ISPF or z/OS batch processes to replicate what I have now without 65,000 in license charges. Anyone have any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
