Re: How to cycle SMTP?
snip I want to be sure to get the TIMEZONE updated next month when Daylight Saving Time starts in the USA. I presume cycling SMTP is necessary and appropriate, but can't find any specific info. /snip IF the TZ variable is set properly, the recycle should not be necessary. The DATE/Time service will automatically adjust for DSD. The TZ variable should Look something like EST5EDT (or whatever is appropriate for your timezone. IIRC the EST stands for east of Greenwich the 5 is the offset and EDT indicates US daylight savings time. The TZ value is usually set in /etc/profile with code something like: TZ=EST5EDT; export TZ HTH, P.S. I expect maintenance for this function somtime in the near future to handle the changes from last year's energy bill. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

How to cycle SMTP?
Can the SMTP task be cycled manually, with P SMTP and S SMTP commands from the console (i.e., without cycling the TCPIP task)? I want to be sure to get the TIMEZONE updated next month when Daylight Saving Time starts in the USA. I presume cycling SMTP is necessary and appropriate, but can't find any specific info.

If it's in the AUTOLOG it will restart by it's own self.

Re: How to cycle SMTP?
Yes to both. You need to change the config member then manually p smtp. If tcp parms have autolog, it will restart, else you manually s smtp. craig -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Burch Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 5:44 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: How to cycle SMTP?

We're at OS390.210; we don't have a Test system. For our website on our mainframe, I have a small CGI that responds to requests to send emails from the mainframe; it submits a job that has as its first line: /*$VS, 'S SMTP' the job has only a single, IEFBR14 job; but the above command is issued and it starts up SMTP. The CGI then issues a sleep request to give SMTP time to initialize Then it submits a job that uses IEBGENER to pass a mail file to the SMTP reader Then it sleeps again Then it submits a job that has this as its first line: /*$VS, 'P SMTP' this stops SMTP. In this way, we can have a low level of email activity but don't hang around long enough to get used as a relay in the SMTP networks. Hope this helps. Or is at least interesting.
