Do you have "set run on" in the CMS startup exec for your guests?

...there are situations when you have to operate in single user mode to
fix problems. You have to log into the console. The z/VM environment
allows the virtual machine to be stopped when the terminal session is
interrupted - by mistake or due to the network dropping out. I see this
as a weakness in a production situation. Having raised this issue a few
times on this mailing list, I would like to know how best one can
prevent or overcome it. No one is suggesting wanton log in to a terminal
session and carelessly terminating without a disconnect. Suppose someone
pulls the plug on me or my VPN session disconnects while I am not at my
laptop. Any number of situations can lead to a production  guest
disappearing. My point is that we need to identify, understand the
threat and find a way to deal with it. If there is no other way, then we
will accept that and work that into the procedure.  From what I
understand that is probably the case here.
