I'm not surprised. It was a bunch of mainframers trying to help that don't have your background. :) That's why I love this mailing list. The range of experience here is amazing. People like you and the other UNIX/Linux heavies can handle this stuff, and others can handle the more mainframe oriented questions. Gotta love diverse communities.

It'll probably already be installed. It's very useful to be able to do at now somecommand and "at" will "package up" your current environment variables and arrange for the command to run "now" in the background, with all stdout ending up sent to you as mail to your username once the job is finished. For more complex resource control and timing, "batch" lets you set up queues which run at particular times and when the load average is low enough. It's certainly not as powerful as JES but it may suffice for basic batch usage. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux Technical Consultant IBM EMEA Enterprise Server Group... ...from home, speaking only for myself
