Of course there are automation products that you can by to take care of this. There some free ones on the CBT also. TSSO, COMMAND. Even though we have an automation product, all my sandbox LPARs use COMMAND from CBT file 19 (http://www.cbttape.org). I start the scripts from an STC that runs SUB=MSTR so it can even shutdown JES2 and issue V XCF,sysname,OFFLINE. I use COMMAND on my sandbox LPARs for 2 reasons. One: the automation group "controls" the automation products. Two: less overhead - quick, simple, easy to change. > >Also, is there a command to stop syslogd, other than to cancel it? > On Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:28:28 -0600, Stephen Wolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >The CBT tape has many MPF exit examples for automation and of course >the "AUTO" command. > >For syslogd shutdown look at IBM site for the z/OS UNIX tools for BPXSTOP. While BPXSTOP could still be used, it's better these days to use F BPXOINIT,SHUTDOWN=xxxx commands or to shutdown OMVS completely with F OMVS,SHUTDOWN. See the Unix System Services Planning manual for details. I think BPXSTOP would cause a problem in a share HFS / zFS environment also.
