You should do this with init scripts run by Linux, not external logins. You may want to combine this approach with some simple REXX coding to check startup order, etc, but the bulk will need to be done in the Linux world.
Look in /etc/init.d. You'll find everything you need in that directory. Be certain you follow the template provided there if you plan to use them with SLES8 yast -- it gets mighty unhappy if it doesn't find it's magic strings. Better yet, come to the next Hillgang meeting and see my presentation on Linux initialization and runlevels. -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Terry Spaulding > Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 4:23 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: sample REXX execs to start Linux instances and more ..... > > > Does anyone have sample REXX execs they are willing to share > that auto IPL > a Linux guest, issue Linux userid/password to login, and then > issue Linux > commands to the Linux guest.
