Does it really need to be in same z/VM system ? When my idea falls like a stone.

What does "vmur" add to your solution? You mean to signal a process in another Linux guest (on the same z/VM) ? Unless I've missed some recent enhancements, I don't think we have a way to trigger a user process on IMSG. So the receiver ends up polling for input, which is not elegant. Some groundwork already is in place with the SMSG handling on which the CMM interface builds. I'm wondering how hard it would be to have something that can pick up SMSG (but also IMSG and MSG probably) through IUCV and trigger something in userspace. Shops with some VM background would probably do a CMS-based server do SCIF for the Linux guests and issue shell commands on Linux guests where applicable. | Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
