Look at this: http://dovetail.com/products/coz.html This starts an SSH tunnel from z/OS to Linux. You can then run scripts on Linux. There is also a "back channel" so that some other utilities can transfer files between z/OS and Linux over the ssh link. The output is in the z/OS job and you can get return codes in z/OS. You could also sent SNMP traps from your automation on z/OS and vice versa to z/OS. We use a CA product called Cross Platform Services, which is part of CA-7. That lets us schedule scripts on Linux and Windows servers. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
