IBM does have a solution (and this is not snark): http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/pso Or possibly this: http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/gdps As other posters have noted, there's an important safety value to the "big red (covered) switch," and it could well be a legal or regulatory requirement in your particular country. (I know electrical safety regulations are quite stringent in many parts of the world.) Similar laws and regulations in many jurisdictions understandably prohibit locking fire escape doors, for example. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
