Re: shutting down a linux guest on VM problem
Which level of Linux is running on this guest? Larry Macioce wrote: I get the following message: HCPSIG2110E User xx is not enabled for signals. (This was after I tri ed to reboot it through it's putty session and of course I lose the session) . So I try to Google the hcp message and I get no hits. I logon to IBM and do a seach but find no hits. I get into the cp commands guide look up signal and it tells me what I already know the user isn;t enabled for signals.DU H I knew this already. What I'd like to know are possible reasons WHY it isn't. I can still logon to the guest,through vm only, but if I try to logoff to kill it (reipl) it says it's logging off but never reboots. It's hung higher than a kite, so I have to force it off. Anyhelp here as to why something isn't able to receive signals would be a great help. thanks mace -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

Re: shutting down a linux guest on VM problem
I have SP3 systems on z/VM 5.1 where this is working perfectly. Unless there is some outstanding z/VM APAR affecting SIGNAL SHUTDOWN, there must be something seriously hosed in Larry's Linux machine.

Re: shutting down a linux guest on VM problem
IIRC, you also have to make sure that you have set up inittab to handle the signals propagated to Linux by VM. Something like: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now Could that be the culprit?

Re: shutting down a linux guest on VM problem
I have in my sles 9 sp3 inittab: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r -t 4 now but it is the same in my sles 9 sp1 guest It did work but I guessing it's the guest not playing well with others. I was at the Columbus meeting of MVRUG last time when Jim spoke of track, but it was abit..let's not lie... much over my head. The stuff he showed that track could do really didn't mean much to me. Please don't take what I just said wrong but it would be like reading a Chinese newspaper to me. I 'm sure it is full of good stuff but I don't understand it. And I had to get back to work so 2 things happened. 1-I missed out on asking question at lunch and more importantly 2) I MISSED A FREE LUNCH. thanks Mace
Re: shutting down a linux guest on VM problem
Change the -r to -h. The -r tells it to reboot.

Re: shutting down a linux guest on VM problem
Two remarks: 1. one can issue CP Q SIGNALS to see who has registered to get a shutdown signal. 2. To get online help: one no longer needs to remove parts of the message ID before entering the HELP command, so just issue HELP HCPSIG2110E Kris, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
