The NJE stuff we did has a batch plug in on the Linux side that will allow you to send jobs to Linux and have the results sent back to z/OS. So your scripts would live up on z/OS you'd submit a job to Linux where it'd be executed and the output from stdout/stderr would be returned back to the entity that submitted the job.
Neale -----Original Message----- We have been playing with stonebranch universal command to do some nifty ISPF interface stuff and batch to Linux stuff, but going into prod with this setup is making management have a cat. $5200 per Linux IMAGE on z/OS and 3600 per Linux image on Intel. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
