You can use hcp or vmcp to issue a CP MSG command. Or you can check out the NJE/IP bridge sold by BSI, which would give you NJE connectivity to RSCS from Linux guests and allow you to treat the Linux guests as normal NJE nodes and send/recv messages via that method. As a tweak to your idea, I'd suggest you do it as an init script 'zzzz9999' that you insert into the normal runlevel processing via insserv or chkconfig rather than in /etc/rc.local -- that way you'll know that all the services got started as well, and you won't have to worry about carrying mods to /etc/rc.local forward when you upgrade the linux instance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
