I thought that one of the motivations for the BPXBATCH utility was to
allow operators to run UNIX commands -- at least to start dæmons. so:
START BPXBATCH PARM='PGM kill -TSTP process-id'
??? (but will START respect the quoted minuscule 'kill'?)
I've long felt that z/OS system shutdown should conform to UNIX
conventions by sending SIGTERM to all OMVS processes. Others tell
me this would somehow be disruptive.
