Half? Why not all? ;-D  ;-D

No seriously: AFAIK, the devices which are still in use, are in what I can 
remember, 'Pending Offline'. So you can probably just reverse that V command 
before the lights go out.

Use RACF to protect that V command or have automation intercept the command and 
just reject it or WTOR you back for confirmation unless issued from a special 
reserved id.

Of course, it depends from WHERE you do that V command.
