If you're looking for a product that will help you not only save but also easily view Linux guest consoles (without using the spool), and take actions based on messages in them, IBM offers Operations Manager for z/VM : http://www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/zvm/operations/index.html Feel free to contact me off-list if you'd like to discuss further or get more information.
