Powering off the entire data centre? Not far fetched for some, we had someone do that. He thought the power distribution unit was the AC unit and hit the power off switch. Much to his sha-grin it wasn't. Matt Dazzo Technical Services Publishers Clearing House 516-944-4816 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just to be clear, that command operates at the file system level, when an entire HFS or ZFS is being deleted. That doesn't do anything when an individual file within an HFS or ZFS is being deleted. Bill On Tue, 4 Sep 2007 09:15:20 +0200, R.S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Mark Jacobs wrote: >> Is

Maybe, a couple of years ago we changed from Strobe to Intune for financial reasons. Now we even terminated that, partly for financial reasons too. Also here, hardware might be cheaper than manpower plus tools. Kees. "Bob Shannon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED] om>.

Tom, Using LookAt to find the message, and following the links through the manuals, brings you to the dynamic allocation return codes. and as has already been stated, looks like you should raise an ETR if the data sets that should be pre-allocated, cataloged, DASD data sets are that in fact.

Hi Chris, There is (was?) a Microsoft utility called DLCPing. I think it was included on the CD-ROM in Microsoft's HIS 2000 Resource Kit (long out of print, and now very difficult to obtain). DLCPing is also occasionally given to customers by Microsoft PSS, to use in troubleshooting SNA connectivi
