Enter "q signals all" from a VM userid with privilege class "B". The command 
will list all the virtual machines enabled for the shutdown signal. In my case, 
it is displaying all my RHEL servers and SFS servers. Be sure to use "q 
signals", "q signal" is different.

Thanks Michael,

I had not tried a signal shutdown from the console yet,  so I did and it worked 
fine.     At least I know that RedHat seems to be set up correctly.

However,  if I send a signal from Maint or Operator via 'signal shutdown 
mfsl8009'  linux does not seem to receive the signal.

This makes me think something on the z/VM side is not set up correctly.      
The guest is setup just like the 5.6 guests,  same class,  signal enabled,  but 
the signal doesn't register.

Hello Jim,

The setting of the shutdown actions should have no effect for signal shutdown.

I tried "signal shutdown" on my development RHEL6.4 system and it worked for me:

$ cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago)


$ cat /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf
# control-alt-delete - emergency keypress handling # # This task is run 
whenever the Control-Alt-Delete key combination is # pressed.  Usually used to 
shut down the machine.
start on control-alt-delete
exec /sbin/shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"


$ lsshut
Trigger          Action
========================
Halt             vmcmd ("logoff")
Power off        vmcmd ("logoff")
Reboot           reipl
Restart          stop
Panic            stop


#cp signal shutdown within 1
Broadcast message from ...

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
Control-Alt-Delete pressed

.....

Please stand by while rebooting the system.....
01: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop 
from CPU 00. 02: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a 
SIGP stop from CPU 00. 00: HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 00020001 
80000000 00000000 00000FFF

At the end the magic PSW with address 0xfff is loaded that should signal to 
z/VM that the guest system has stopped.
