Probably SET SECUSER is as close as you'll get. That allows you to manipulate the console, and that can be automated with PROP. There's been some discussion about Linux VMCF support, but since VMCF is officially deprecated (in favor of IUCV) not a lot of effort has been put in that direction. The IUCV driver Neale wrote can talk to the *MSG CP system service, which allows TELL to work, but you'd need to add a little code to the example program to actually execute commands using it. ________________________________
From: Linux on 390 Port on behalf of James Melin Sent: Wed 3/8/2006 2:00 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: z/Linux equivalent of VSECMD? Our new VM guy, who did all sorts of interesting things back in the day was wondering if there was a VMCF or VSECMD type of thing for z/VM to talk to, get results back from and otherwise interact with a z/Linux guest. I'm totally unfamiliar with 'VSECMD' as I think I was 20 the last time I touched VSE (that was 1983). I think he's looking to create some sort of facility to allow a batch job (on z/OS? z/VM? not sure) to talk to z/VM, and have z/VM tell a z/linux machine to go to single user mode, report back that single user mode has been achieved, back up that guest and then have VM tell it to go back to runlevel 5. Since single user mode by default disconnects the network, another interface is needed. Does anyone have a recommendation? Does such a widget (outside of SSH which I am investigating for other uses between z/OS batch and z/Linux) exist for VM/Linux interoperability but driven from the z/VM side? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ** ACCEPT: CRM114 PASS Markovian Matcher ** CLASSIFY succeeds; success probability: 1.0000 pR: 129.2970 Best match to file #0 (nonspam.css) prob: 1.0000 pR: 129.2970 Total features in input file: 10352 #0 (nonspam.css): features: 4701816, hits: 2573370, prob: 1.00e+00, pR: 129.30 #1 (spam.css): features: 3751671, hits: 2530120, prob: 5.05e-130, pR: -129.30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
