Of course. It's just 1s and 0s, you know? :-) But we already have CP shutdown commands for RSCS, TCPIP, SFS, and DIRMAINT: FORCE RSCS FORCE TCPIP FORCE DIRMAINT FORCE VMSERV IF the guest supports signals, they will be invoked without having to explicitly SIGNAL SHUTDOWN. Not having tried it, I would suspect that Romney's SHUTTRAP program could be used (loaded as a nucleus extension) to do what needs doing, whether on GCS or CMS. It could even send a message to your shut-me-down-nicely virtual machine that would immediately begin the shutdown process for the affected server. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
