Seeking a recommendation on an ISPF and/or batch to Linux interface

We have been playing with stonebranch universal command to do some nifty ISPF interface stuff and batch to Linux stuff, but going into prod with this setup is making management have a cat. $5200 per Linux IMAGE on z/OS and 3600 per Linux image on Intel. We'd never be using it that much. What is

If you have the no-cost SSH add-on for z/OS installed, I don't see why that couldn't be used to run scripts on your Linux systems from a dialog or a batch job step. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Melin Sent: Monday,

I tried to make that work once upon a long time ago. If I recall correctly at the time there was some kludge random number bolt on thing that had to be used and was of questionable stability? Has it matured? That's one thign I have long wanted IBM to include in os/390 and then z/OS as part of

Yes, it's an official IBM offering. No cost to license it. They've been giving a number of sessions on it at SHARE, including labs on installing it. You even get PTFs for it now. If you want to keep the scripts on the z/OS system, I don't see why you couldn't have an scp command to copy the

So can this be ordered like other IBM z/OS software? We get a lot of stuff via CBPDO and that would be the best since we have maintenance going on at the end of the month. Woudl be cool to have that avaialable when I get back from vacation. Can that be acquired through the CBPDO process?

I would imagine so. Take a look at http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/port_tools.html and try following some of the links, particularly the Program Directory at the bottom. Mark Post -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of

The NJE stuff we did has a batch plug in on the Linux side that will allow you to send jobs to Linux and have the results sent back to z/OS. So your scripts would live up on z/OS you'd submit a job to Linux where it'd be executed and the output from stdout/stderr would be returned back to the
