It is even worse than 'waiting for TCPIP to come up'. You have to make sure that TCPIP is available when you shut down (and TCPIP could have abended) *if* you need IP services to do the shutdown. You have to have a way to still come down gracefully in case the needed services aren't available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
