Well, if you have a little knowledge about iptables, you could trigger some 
action when someone
tries to connect to some port.
So by telnet to for example port 48113, and have iptables trigger this and 
start a script
that reads from a predefined cms-filename, you have the trigger functionality 
there.

Maybee this is some overkill...  :)

Subject: Re: RSH RPM

With all respect to Mark and Alan, David is correct.  RSH is the only
consistent "supported" means of automation between CMS (or TSO) and
Linux.

I put a lot of effort into cobbling up other tools to automate
Linux-to-CMS, but in-house hacks are held in low esteem where vendor
venues are more valued.  (RSH is supported by IBM ... and by the
distributors.  Security be blowed!)  I wish I had thought of using RSH
in those scenarios, but I was blinded by righteous ideals:  "it's not
secure".
