I don't get it! Is this "soaker" some sort of stand-alone IPLable

Is there some sort of VWLC exemption for running a z/OS "soaker"? Does
IBM allow you to exclude that LPAR's SMF records from your SCRT input?
Your point is well taken, Ed, but Mr. Puddicombe COULD be running
the 'soaker' under a zLinux system, couldn't he? (Wouldn't that allow him
to absorb the CPU and not have that LPAR participate in the VWLC
licensing? I'm not sure about that myself, but they wouldn't be z/OS
MSUs...)
Pay annual maintenance to RedHat or SUSE just to run a "soaker" looping
program? I think I like Jim Phoenix's CFCC idea better. At least it
comes free with the box.
