RE: Restricted State problem during backup

We do something similar.  QPGMR is never ended, and devices that begin with
an X enter the QPGMR subsystem.  That way I can always sign on remotely by
changing my device description to start with an X.

Mike, another backdoor that has saved my kiester from time to time is to
start QINTER via the FTP server (assuming IT is still running).

FTP to your AS400.  After you logon, enter the following command

QUOTE RCMD STRSBS QINTER.

Has worked for me many times when I have been away from the office and
unable to get to the console.

We do a nightly backup, first we shut down all subsystems, including QINTER.
Thr problem w/ that is if there is a problem w/ the backup, there is no way
for the operator to do anything about it. We have the ACO pager that will
alert messages, but then the job sits there until the morning.
