There is a SCIF package on th IBM Downloads page that is useful for
this, but the secondary user interface is sometimes difficult to automate.

Substitute your favorite configuration or query command within the quotes,
and you have a method to talk to your Linux guests to handle many simple
problems.
I do that via the SECUSER interface. I got fancy and wrote a short REXX
EXEC that uses the STARMSG service in a pipeline to give me an interactive
session and log the console traffic to a file on my A-disk. It's on my
todo list to make a version to pass one or more commands non-interactively
to a list of Linux guests.
