You can. I still prefer to "wrap it" in a script. Mike Kershaw's tool is a binary. Same for others. > I don't know what PROP is (maybe because I'm not a VM expert). PROP is the PRogrammable OPerator. Many VM sites use it. We use it here, but not for our Linux guests unless they achieve "production" status. SCIF is the "Secondary Console Interface Facility" which the console output of one v-machine (say Linux) be seen on the console of another v-machine (typically CMS). Commands are issued to the first with CP SEND from the second. (And you want to use the mixed case interface to 'CP SEND' which is DIAGnose 8, the DIAG() function in REXX.) > In the end, this mechanism didn't work very well because it was too easy > for the console to get hung up.

But always, the learning curve is part of the equation. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
