Hello lists,

<confession type=humbling>
There is a bug in the SSISHUTD EXEC that is part of the new "Cloud
Computing Cookbook."
</confession>

<bummer type=major>
I just shut down an SSI cluster by accident.
</bummer>

One of the new EXECs in the tar file of code associated with the book is
SSISHUTD to make shutting down and optionally reIPLing much faster. I
meant to type "ssishutd ?" but forgot the "?".  So I got the prompt:
  Are you sure you want to SHUTDOWN the SSI cluster? (y/n)

I answered "n" but the SSI still went down. :((

<bugfix type=quick>
I got it back up and looked at the code. Line 88 of the SSISHUTD EXEC
should be changed from this:
  If 'LEFT'(answer, 1) <> "Y" Then exitrc = 3
to this:
  If 'LEFT'(answer, 1) <> "Y" Then Exit 3

But there are other issues with return codes, so you should get the
latest. I updated the .tgz file on
http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/CKB-VM62.tgz  If you pulled the
.tgz file between Jan 1 and about an hour ago, then you should replace it
with the updated one, untar it, and be sure to replace all copies of
SSISHUTD EXEC.  I also updated the code in the appendix of the book and
republished that.
</bugfix>

Sorry if this caused any inconvenience.
