then
CP Q SIGNALS shows they're enabled and from that you might infer they're
running (but perhaps not yet at the LOGIN PROMPT like you wanted)

Subject: Verify from z/VM that a Linux guest is up
Hi
I have written some REXX (with help from this list) to shutdown and my z/Linux
guests and I also have an EXEC to XAUTOLOG them when I am ready to bring them
back up. I would like to know if there is a way from z/VM to check something in
the Linux guest to confirm that in fact the guest is up at least to the LOGIN
PROMPT?
Thank You,
Terry Martin
