Ofcourse LINUX rejects my port 23 connection that was expected, the point was the VSWITCH works. Ping from windows doesn't work, but I can't ping VM either, although my tn3270 works fine. I think the network blocks pings.. I'll try TRACERT Monday.. CP TRACE I/O on z/LINUX will help. On Fri, Sep

Hello, It is so interesting that people need to expand so much on why before discussing the how. In Unix/Linux, we have the su command that let someone take another identification for a while and when done, just exit and return to the normal userid. Can we do something like that in

Michel. Your support staff are logging on to service machines, stopping them - then taking a backup of what? If they are disconnected service machines; could you not - as suggested - implement a simple REXX exec to WAKEUP triggered by an SMSG for instructions and perform whatever it is that

I prefer to have all device-related statements for guests in the directory, even those that are only defined by commands, such as HyperPAV aliases. I'm running into the restriction that the combined length of all COMMAND statements cannot exceed 3071 characters. Currently, each HyperPAV alias

As a responsible professional, you do not (and should not) take it as it is. Sometimes manual procedures are put in place as a stop-gap measure *after* management has done a risk assessment. The situation may now have changed and the RA is no longer valid, or whatever. Manual procedures should,

Thanks to Les and James for the good advice. I don't feel patronized at all. I have been around for three decades. I have seen my share of what happens when doing non-professional stuff. The first VM version I worked with was VM/370 release 2 in mid to late 1970`s. I hope you

The problem with Service Virtual Machines is that they may not always be executing code under our control (Maybe a RDB, an IPL'ed guest OS that's NOT cms, etc..) So the WAKEUP or SMSG solution doesn't always apply. Furthermore, as far as security is concerned, Virtual machines answering to
