What level of z/VM and Linux are you using? If you are at the right level then a #CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN <user> WITHIN <nn> will get your guests to shutdown (if the /etc/inittab has the right stuff in it).
Otherwise, assuming root is logged on to the console: 'CP SET SECUSER <linuxguy>' CPRc = DIAG(8,'CP SEND <linuxguy> shutdown -h 5') 'CP SET SECUSER <linuxguy> RESET' else 'CP SET SECUSER <linuxguy>' CPRc = DIAG(8,'root') 'CP SL 1 SEC' CPRc = DIAG(8,'<password>') 'CP SL 1 SEC' CPRc = DIAG(8,'CP SEND <linuxguy> shutdown -h 5') 'CP SET SECUSER <linuxguy> RESET' -----Original Message----- on occassion, we need to do a poweron/reset of our z800. I would like a way to issue a 'shutdown -h 5' command to each linux guest from a vm exec. Can this be done? If someone has done this, would they be willing to share the code? tia, Scorch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
