Thank you for your suggestion. Our VM TCPIP isn't reachable from the Linux network; can't use TCPIP from my z/VM to connect to a linux guest.

As Dr. Boyes suggests, using the open source IUCV driver is a very good way of solving this type of problem. You can find it here: http://www.sinenomine.net/vm/fsiucv Another approach that might be applicable here is to have a simple client, running on the Linux guest, and listening on a specific TCP port. A server, running on VM, can then connect to the client and send the client any number of Linux commands to execute. The client executes the commands and routes the responses back to the server, sort of like rsh. However, things like encryption of the data sent and authentication of the server can easily been done with this framework. I have an example set of code for both the client and the server here, if anybody's really interested. Have a good one. DJ David Boyes wrote: > Use the IUCV driver Neale developed.
