When I need to XAUTOLOG an SVM (linux is just another SVM) and watch its console, I use the AUTOSCIF exec from the SCIF package at the IBM DOWNLOA DS website. This xautologs the svm and sets me as the SECUSER (secondary console user) so that I can see the messages and enter commands if necess ary.
If I just need to see if an SVM is at some appropriate message (login prompt), I use the TRACK svmname CONS command (TRACK is an excellent prog ram to add to your z/VM toolbox). This will show me the last spooled CONSOLE buffer. I always have my SVMs spooling there consoles somewhere. /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Fri, 7 Nov 2008 10:14:26 -0500, Martin, Terry R.
