Nice to know of it, however. We actually have code in CA-OPS/MVS which traps some SYSLOG messages (mostly from CA-7 browse log, via CAGTS) and sends SNMP messages to SolarWinds' Orion (our LAN software for this sort of thing), by using the CAOPSWTO facility. I have actually used this, in testing only, to send SNMP traps to my Linux/Intel desktop. Since CA-OPS/MVS uses REXX, I _could_ reformat the "interesting" z/OS SYSLOG messages in order to send them, via REXX sockets, to a UNIX syslog daemon. Or as I did in my testing, use CA-OPS/MVS to an SNMP server which could relay to the UNIX syslog daemon. Combine this with Co:Z to send UNIX commands back over SSH to z/OS and I could do "weird and wonderful(?)" things. Well, except that I'm not allowed because z/OS is going away and management wants it "stable" and so "don't make any changes", possibly because they don't understand what I'm doing. > > Art Celestini > Technology Architect > SyncSort Inc. > > -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
