I would use an automated operations product that would intercept anything from the command line of a console with multi-targets. So a VARY (xxx-xxx),... would get stopped. It might get re-issued for similar devices (e.g., V (800-80F),ONLINE might get re-issued by the automation if this was known to it as a bank of tape drives, or some such). You are not the first to have this happen. And it is why different entities (e.g., banks, utilities, etc.) have such rules. Now how does the Automated Operations software know IT issued the command and not someone else? Because they use subsystem consoles as opposed to "real" consoles and know their ID, etc. etc. Later, Steve Thompson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
