It'd be real helpful if you could tell us what you're trying to do. It's a much safer idea to use the 3215 console support and use CP SEND and WAKEUP to automate a logon session. Are you trying to issue commands, or collect log data or what? On the off chance you're trying to automate shutdown with SCIF: 1) You want a 3215 console, not a 3270. The only time you want a 3270 console is when you're running on the bare metal or standalone in in a LPAR and need some kind of display to get started. The Linux system doesn't know diddly about driving 3270s beyond simple line mode stuff. You could use VINPUT, but why complicate things? 2) Throw the whole idea out the window and apply the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN patches, which give you a much more graceful method of handling this whole issue. Leaving root logged on anywhere -- even a supposedly secure terminal -- is a serious security and integrity breach, is guaranteed to come back and hurt you badly, and is generally a Really, Really BAD idea.
