What do you mean by « Changing LINK to COMMAND LINK may help, that's for sure. I have MDISK statements for my VSE minidisks.
Also, we run VM:Operator and not PROP. One of the guys in our automation group set up VM:Operator and I wonder if he knows how to handle output right from an XAUTOLOG of a virtual machine.

Changing LINK to COMMAND LINK may help, that's for sure. 2010/3/1 Mike Walter <mike.wal...@hewitt.com> Look up the directory "COMMAND" statement in the CP Planning and Administration manual. E.g. In the CP Directory entry for each VM userid for which you want the virtual console started as the VM is constructed the line: COMMAND SPOOL CONSOLE START Only CP commands may be entered into the CP Directory for users. You may specify any CP command argument. More details in the manual. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

I have several z/VSE machines which are XAUTOLOGed on by the operator. Reason? In rare instances, maybe a pack is not attached to the system which contains some minidisks used by these machines. I know there could be a message such as: HCPLNM108E MIKE A194 not linked; volid XT160D not mounted For a test I have changed a virtual machine CONSOLE statement in its directory to CONSOLE 009 T MIKE OBS and I get all messages after the user logs on. I would like to programmatically trap these messages from a disconnected service machine so that it can be detected. Tried WAKEUP but no luck. Suggestions?
