Mike,
I tried my idea and it is too late in the process.
Ivan suggested the secondary user, is that available at 5.2?

Hello Doug,
I do have a shared PROFILE EXEC that sets up the environment before the IPL
of z/VSE in each of the VSE users. Changing the exec to validate that each
machine has the minidisks it requires is more prone to error then having CP
tell me that something is amiss at LOGON time.
Thanks,

Mike,
You could have one or many of your VSE guests IPL CMS in the directory and
have them all point to a shared RR 191 mini disk. Then customize a PROFILE EXEC
to do the CP 'whatever' and then, determine what to really IPL based on USERID.
Sorry its not REXX, old stuff.
PROFILE EXEC:
&TRACE
CP SP CONSOLE START *
DROPBUF &BUFNO
MAKEBUF
&BUFNO = &RC
EXECIO * CP ( MARGINS 1 8 STRING QUERY USERID
&IF &RC NE 0 &CALL -ERROR &RC
&READ STRING &ME
&IF &ME EQ VSEID &GOTO -VSEID
CP MSG OP USER &ME ATTEMPTED TO USE SHAREIPL. NOT DEFINED.
&GOTO -EXIT
-VSEID
EXEC VSEID &ME
&GOTO -EXIT
-ERROR
&RC = &1
&READ STRING &LERROR
&TYPE &0 PROBLEM OCCURED TRYING INQUIRY ON USERID.
&TYPE &0 &LERROR
&EXIT &RC
-EXIT
&EXIT 999
====================
VSEID EXEC:
&TRACE ALL

What do you mean by « Changing LINK to COMMAND LINK may help, that's for
sure. I have MDISK statements for my VSE minidisks.
Also, we run VM:Operator and not PROP. One of the guys in our automation
group set up VM:Operator and I wonder if he knows how to handle output right
from an XAUTOLOG of a virtual machine.

Mike, I think I tried COMMAND SPOOL CONS START but COMMANDs seem to be
executed after the devices are set up, hence too late to catch problems with
MDISK statements.
Changing LINK to COMMAND LINK may help, that's for sure.
2010/3/1 Mike Walter <mike.wal...@hewitt.com>
Look up the directory "COMMAND" statement in the CP Planning and
Administration manual.
E.g. In the CP Directory entry for each VM userid for which you want the
virtual console started as the VM is constructed the line:
COMMAND SPOOL CONSOLE START
Only CP commands may be entered into the CP Directory for users. You may
specify any CP command argument. More details in the manual.

Trapping output right after LOGON
Greetings,
I would like to trap all the CP console output from a virtual machine from
its initial XAUTOLOG/LOGON. I have several z/VSE machines which are
XAUTOLOGed on by the operator. Reason? In rare instances, maybe a pack is
not attached to the system which contains some minidisks used by these
machines. I know there could be a message such as:
HCPLNM108E MIKE A194 not linked; volid XT160D not mounted
For a test I have changed a virtual machine CONSOLE statement in its
directory to CONSOLE 009 T MIKE OBS and I get all messages after the user
logs on. I would like to programmatically trap these messages from a
disconnected service machine so that it can be detected. Tried WAKEUP but
no luck.
Suggestions?
