I wonder if there is a way to log into the console of a guest from a Linux shell of another guest via putty?
But there are other solutions to your problem... when would go to single user mode the applications are down anyway, so you might as well shutdown the entire server. At that point you can have another fully working Linux server with network etc reach out to the disks of the dead penguin and do whatever it takes to solve the problems. You can download new packages, edit files, etc. This is after all a "virtual raised floor" and with z/VM you can sort-of hot-swap your disks without being on site. Obviously it does require proper authorisations arranged in z/VM to do so; you don't want just any Linux server to be able to do it. In a former life we wrote a pair of bash scripts that would issue the "hcp" and "mount" command under the covers to get hold of the disk. Very easy.
