Hi, James. Yes, you can do this using the PerfKit monitoring tool. Take a look at the FCON LIMIT and FCON PROCESS commands in the Pefrkit reference manual.
One z/Linux goes production at your shop, go take a good look again at the Velocity products as well. IMHO, they're worth their costs..... Good luck.

We use Tivoli ITM to monitor (automated) the CPU on our zLinux guests, but do not have an effective way to capture when zVM starts taking too much CPU in an single LPAR. Does anyone know of how/if ITM (Tivoli) can monitor zVM, or any shareware tool, Is there a Perfkit method to send a message out when the system starts to hold high CPU usage in zVM? We have looked at Velocity, but at the stage have no budget to invest in a tool as zLinux is still viewed as a test (experimental) platform in our shop James Chaplin Systems Programmer, MVS, zVM & zLinux Base Technologies, Inc Customs and Border Protection ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Microsoft® Exchange solutions from a leading provider - http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
