Marcy, If you want your guests to actually logoff before z/VM shuts down, then keep them. If you only care if they're "down" at that point, then you can take those parms out.

What level of VM? Does CP Q SIGNALS show your guest enabled? I get that "kernel: CAD:" message and then the shutdown. Is that the last you receive?

Is it not working? The first time you will need to restart the init process. I don't recall the exact syntax, but it should be in the archive.
