I'm waiting for delivery of a beta copy of Allen Systems Group "Zeke" agent for
Linux/390.  We use the Zeke product on the OS/390 side to schedule jobs through
JES, and some procedures on remote Unix boxes in each of our stores.  We wanted
a Linux agent - they are about to deliver.  Currently, we use a home grown
procedure that is tailored to certain UDB Linux server needs, but we hope to
replace it so that operations has complete control of events.
