We ran into that here. SET RUN ON is specified in the profile exec for all of
the Linux guests, but if the 3270 session for that guest (we would use
3270 to manually IPL - otherwise xautolog is the choice) is terminated
(computer crashes, or someone closes the 3270 program) without a #CP DISC the
session would go into a state other than disconnected and VM would treat it as
a 'dangling' session and kill it after a period of time. This is
primarily aimed at situations where several hundred VM users could be logged on
and any number of them would leave a session dangling and lock up the
resources for that user. It has dramatic and usually bad consequences for ID's
that are running guest operating systems in the VM environment.
The bottom line: DO NOT leave a 3270 session representing the console of a
Linux Guest just sitting someplace. Any variety of scenarios can lead to a
3270 session going into an abnormal state and VM will diligently clean those
up. Use #CP DISC when you're done if you MUST access things by 3270.
Otherwise telnet/SSH is your better option for guest interaction.

Since you say you have "set run on" I admit to being puzzled. I would
have expected that to work for you. Perhaps someone from the VM
development team can say whether dropped connections are handled
differently from CP disconnects or not.

CP Q SET shows RUN set to ON but it
seems this is not to sufficient, am I missing some other important
function
settings of the guest ?
