One of the things I did in 5.3 was add the COMMAND TERM MORE 10 5 HOLD OFF line to the OPERATOR directory so that it wouldn't get ignored, hang and prevent anything else that needed to be done from getting done. For us it only comes into play at IPL because VM:Operator eventually starts and takes care of the screen. I felt the 15 seconds it does hold is long enough to scan the screen for messages or hit enter to put it into HOLDING if you wanted. By being in the directory it is automatically changed from the default (TERM MORE 50 10 HOLD ON). Once in HOLDING, the screen would have to be cleared to accept the HOLD OFF.

It will leave the LG file on Operators 191 A minidisk. A separate user id will run an exec which will issue the following four commands: 'CP SEND OP1 LISTF LG* * A (DATE EXEC' 'CP SLEEP 2 SEC' 'CP SEND OP1 SENDFILE CMS EXEC A TO MAINT' 'RECEIVE = = = (REPLACE' At which point I can get the information in the cms exec and then get to the log. However we ran into the problem that when OP1's console is full (saying holding) the 2 SEND commands can't get thru to the Operator which is running disconnected and OP1 is the sudo Operator console. Looking for some suggestions as how to get around this problem. Thanks. _____________ LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
