This allows you to filter and respond to messages from a CMS session.
Also, Neale Ferguson (now with Sinome) wrote the facility to allow you to execute VM/CP commands from Linux (opposite to what you need - www.linuxvm.org). An idea that might work is to run an ftp session from TSO/Batch to your Linux image and print the response from Linux. Scanning with your program what you get back from Linux to take counter actions can be time consuming but it can be done. One final idea is in case you are running a scheduler such as UC4. You can have the scripts under the scheduler on one machine to execute in your Linux images. I apologize if none of these ideas can be put to use to solve your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
