1) Set up /etc/inittab thusly: # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now
2) Enter the CP command: SIGNAL SHUTDOWN ALL WITHIN <nnn> Where nnn is the number of seconds you can wait before the hammer comes down ;) 3) Enter the CP command: Q SIGNALS To see the shutdown status A 'FFF' wait is loaded on successful Linux shutdown. You need a relatively current Linux distro and z/VM 5.1 or later, but I'm not sure of the exact levels...We're using RH4 Update 4 on z/VM 5.2.

Has anyone had to address this? Any samples or documentation would be greatly appreciated.
