It can be done with the same "shutdown" interface, but with a twist. Before issuing the actual shutdown command, issue a "signal shutdown" command to your Linux guests. When your last Linux guest logs off, issue the actual shutdown command to CP.

Is there a good way to have VM be told that a guest is shutdown and can be logged off? Our VM people have just given the Linux 10 minutes to respond to a shutdown command. If you're not down, tough. Mostly this seems to be enough time but occasionally one of our WebSphere guests is not all the way down and then the file system gets wonky or some such and repair must be done. I was thinking perhaps with CPINT or something a more two way handshake thing can be done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
