I duplicated the RXAGENT1 to make the RXAGENT2 in the directory and added the info in the DTCPARMS.
They do have the LINK REXECD 191 191 RR in the directory. When I force REXECD, TCPIP automatically brings it back up. No attempt is made to bring up the agents. The only problem I have with using REXECD with a particular user, which is solved by using the agents, is that I have a list of commands that I'm sending off to be executed and some of them fail with "Unable to autolog user" message. In other words, the machine didn't finish logging off before the next remote command was being issued. I might bypass this problem by executing a rexx program instead of individual commands.

Did you model RXAGENT2 on 1? What you show seems correct.. so searching for clues :) Does the REXECD console show it is attempting to start -- any error msgs? Is RACF installed - if so, is REXECD authorized to autolog? These agent ids are only for anonymous requests.. any trouble using REXECD for a particular user? Just a note that don't set SECUSER on these guests to watch -- you'll mess up the message interactivity between them. Any errors at all you are seeing would be good clues..
