Okay.... I've got the TCP/IP rexec daemon running on z/VM. Now I'm assuming I also have to have a rexec daemon running on my Linux guest. I'm very much a Linux newbie...... How do you start the daemon on the Linux side? I've looked in the man pages, but no luck on actually starting it up.
TIA,
Scott

On a related note, you might consider using the rexec command from VM to issue a '/sbin/shutdown -h now' to your Linux guests. .thanks

In order to apply this patch, do I have to completely regen the kernel? I'm reluctant to start down that long learning curve at this time. Or does SuSE or anyone else have a downloadable 2.4.7 kernel with the SIGNAL enablement already installed? Or should I just wait for SLES8 to be delivered? (We ordered it in December. No idea what the holdup is.) Is SIGNAL enabled in SLES8 even? > > They say there are three signs of stress in your life.
