Michael,

1.- Must your operators have access to the command line? If
not, encapsulate the cmd in a CL and ask for confirmation.

2.- Add an exit point to QIBM_QWC_PWRDWNSYS . We use a CL
that asks the operator to confirm if this (power off the
system) is what he wants to do.

Regards,

Luis Rodriguez

subject: operators and PWRDWNSYS

List,

I am interested how other shops handle this issue. I want
my operators to be
able to perform an IPL at times but I am reluctant to
give them permissions
to execute PWRDWNSYS. The reason is concern that it will
be accidental. If
you key the command without prompting it begins an
immediate controlled
shutdown with no IPL.

Is there a way to have the system force a confirmation
(i.e. a "are you
sure?" type message) if the command is issued with no
prompting? A system
value perhaps that controls this?

Who has permissions to issue PWRDWNSYS in your shop?
