I have the PROFILE EXEC in my linux servers check the console. If it is 'disconnected', then the profile automatically IPLs the linux bootdisk. If the console is on a terminal then the profile prompts for approval to continue the linux session. This way I can chose whether to exit the ipl process and do something in the CMS environment or to continue with the linux ipl. Here is a sample: /* */ trace off 'CP SP CONS CON START' 'CP SET RUN ON' 'CP TERMINAL LINEDEL OFF CHARDEL OFF ESCAPE OFF TABCHAR OFF' 'EXEC MKSWAP 205 256' /* 256 MB swap on vdisk */ /* do we need to ask */ test = '' if substr(Diag(24,-1),13,1) �= 2 then do; say '*** Enter a non-blank to stop IPL of LINUX/390' parse pull test . end IF STRIP(TEST) == '' THEN DO 'CP IPL 292 CLEAR' END exit

Anyone have the command?? I would like to be able to AUTOLOG my Linux images and have them auto IPL but also want to be able to signon for maintenance purposes without IPLing Linux. Thanks - Dan
