Ø Subject: A stupid idea? Using twitter like service for z/SO, et al., event

No, not crazy. If you have a console automation product like Netview/390 or
something similar (I think you said you have Unicenter), and a convenient Linux
host, it's actually pretty easy. Using the
I am wondering how difficult it would be for IBM to publish their
manuals in .mobi or .epub format. This would make them much more
readable on cell phones or other media such a the newer Kindles or Nook
ebook reader. It would even help on netbooks, laptops, and desktop as it
wouldn't force

BTW, what is #39,t mean? I see it frequently, is it encrypted cursing?
Hahaha
No, it's an attempt by smart mail user agents to insert a fancy apostrophe
character instead of using the single quote. The 39 is the hex character code
for the apostrophe.
Now for my random thought. Many web sites such as news sites and blogs
use RSS and/or Atom news feeds. The user subscribes to the feeds that
they are interested in.

I've been discussing the idea of whether it would be possible/useful to write
something to trap the hardware LPAR deactivation signal and use that to trigger
an controlled emergency shutdown of z/OS. On VM and VSE, there is a trap
present in the base OS that grabs that signal and starts a

Essentially I'm looking for a method of identifying MVS images so that I
can talk to my agent running in each of those images. If my agent is not
running on an image then neither is any other of my software.
Take a look at the Zeroconf project. You can easily have your agent announce

No real issue, just thought I would ask. I couldn't think of anything
other than an OSA for TCP/IP communication. I had forgotten about the

for MVS). Some other fun ones:
