CP TERM MORE 0 0 CP TERM HOLDING OFF CP TERM BRKKEY NONE CP TERM LINEND OFF CP SET RUN ON and gettting rid of the hcp/vmcp command will protect a Linux console from getting into CP READ due to user action and will keep the guest running. But to what end? These settings are really incompatible with a linemode console where you can't scroll back & forth, not to mention the loss of functionality. The *VMEVENT service (5.3) can be used to know when a guest has stopped running, so you can try sending the guest a BEGIN command if you don't see the guest restart within whatever interval you find acceptable. Kind of interesting when you use it with class C SEND, which works even if someone is logged on. "Now I press PA1 and... HEY! STOP THAT! I don't WANT to BEGIN! STOP IT, I say!"
