The monitor we use is a home-grown Java program that polls our Linux applications every 5 minutes. Our operators access it via a web page. Solid green next to the server name means we are up and running. A red indicator signals trouble. This has a triple verification function:
1. The instance is booted up properly. 2. The network connection to the instance is available and working. 3. The application itself is operational. There are other monitors readily available with features that would be difficult or impossible to duplicate with an exec.

We are writing a REXX exec to run under z/VM to verify the status of our Linux guests. The purpose of this script is to provide an easy mechanism for our operators to verify the health of the Linux guests. Is there a mechanism from z/VM to issue Linux commands to a Linux guest and capturing the output? I know we can go from Linux and issue z/VM commands. Thanks.
