Although not a replacement for PROP... see if Operations Manager for z/VM
will provide the functionality you are looking for:

The way the smsgiucv_app driver is written, the characters "APP" must be
the first thing in the string being sent.  If that is done, then kernel
udev events are generated on the receiving system.  Udev rules can be
written to do useful things with those messages.  See Richard Lewis' SHARE
presentation on that at
https://share.confex.com/share/122/webprogram/Session14591.html

To my knowledge, there is currently nothing pre-built that will do what
you need.
