No. If the virtual machine is interrupted or placed in VM READ/CP READ due to the console going away, then your Linux-based command automation will never run -- the virtual machine is stopped waiting for that BEGIN command. The solution to your problem is to educate people to do what they need to do via SCIF (CP SEND) or other means. There's zero reason to be actually logging into the machine via the console during normal operations. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
