You're NOT supposed to get any message to which you have to reply DOWN! The correct way to shut down a system in a sysplex is to ALWAYS ALWAYS use vary xcf,sysname,offline. Then reply with the name of that system again. (This is true for monoplexes, also!) ...snip This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
