Right. The supervisor stays up so you can do a REIPL. But you might be able to put a disable wait in.... I seem to recall, that at one shop, I modified a startup proc....perhaps $1JCL, so when Power came to an end, a SIR command was done. If someone can remember how that was done, or if it can be done nowadays, you could put a "CP EXT something" to cause a disabled wait...right?

I was more concerned about the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN support. The implementation is, IMHO, correct. Issue a message only. I wouldn't want it shutting down the system without my own tools or procedures in place. The downside is that, at least with SIGNAL SHUTDOWN there is a timer involved. If the system isn't shutdown before the timer pops, z/VM will force the virtual machine. The cure, of course, is to make the timer artificially high to allow for extremely long shutdown times. abunton@co.slo.ca.us wrote: > > Martin, > > I didn't mean to bust your bubble.
