Yes HOD was used with HPUX and will be used with linux on z. Now they tell me they had on HPUX and stiil have on z a problem with processes left by users not terminating out of HOD properly. Processes that are left apparently use quite a bit of cpu. They reworked a kill script they ran on HPUX

Hardcoded mac addresses in an autogenerated environment

2011-11-18 Thread Agblad Tore
Hi there. We have autogenerated mac addresses for our zLinux servers (ip-only traffic) I have tested and verified that the mac-address for the network adapter changes between z/VM logoff-logon ( shutdown + start ). Well, that's no surprise, that's what we wanted :-) BUT: The license for for a

Run-away processes from lost terminal (or lost session, lost pseudo-terminal) is a common problem. Yes, I've heard of it before. (Was/is not specific to HOD.) Theoretically, a process gets a HUP signal (hangup) when the session is dropped. For the signal to work, the whole TTY/PTY/PTS chain
