I have suggested before that a Linux service virtual machine should have a facility to accept SMSGs, validate the origin against an authorized user list and process the content appropriately for that SVM.
The response has generally been that is a dinosaur-style mainframe thing that doesn't belong in Linux. The real Linux way is to be a real operator and ssh into your Linux system and issue the commands manually or script the whole process in the linux system that you use to run your complex (usually your own linux workstation). /Tom Kern > Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 09:02:02 -0400 > From: "Romanowski, John (OFT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: How to signal a Linux guest from z/VM? > From z/VM I'd like to "signal" a SLES 9 guest somehow and have the guest > respond by running a shell script (CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN is not what I want > to do). > I don't want to use SECUSER and CP SEND, my Linux console isn't at a > shell prompt, it's at the Login: prompt. > Does Linux have a facility to process external interrupts sent via the > CP EXTERNAL command? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
