Is there a 'native' way to have your guest brought down and autologged? I suppose I'm looking for a CP command which instead of allowing the guest to say.. IPL - actually signals it off
If this were "You Bet Your Life," you'd win the prize, for "SIGNAL" is the command you're looking for. It only works if the guest registers with CP to receive signals, but it would suit your purposes.
Romney White once published an example of CMS code that lets you load a CMS nucleus extension to catch a signal. Linux has supported it for years. And, of course, there's the CP command, SIGNAL, to manually initiate a SIGNAL to a specific guest.
Nothing tells the guest to re-start itself, so perhaps we'd want a second signal besides, "SHUTDOWN" to differentiate between "die," and "die and come back."
But, you're in the right neighborhood.
