Re: BRMS *SYSTEM Control Group question

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

The exit program at sequence 70 has no chance to run the way this is set 
up.  I suggest you use sbmjob to submit that job into a job queue 
(qusrnomax is a good choice) so that it can run after the system 
starts.  You should put some intelligence in there to wait for TCP to 
get up and running first.
