what about doing it from the control panel?, that's how our CE use to do it.


PS: It is possible to IPL your system by setting the system values right,
calling the AS400 modem, waiting 15 sec after it answers, then hang up. The
system will power down. Scary huh?

You know, that's a good question.  At first, it seemed obvious to me
that they should have the authority, but now that I've had a chance to
think about it, I seem to recall that I had to power down for a CE
several years ago.

It's just a real pain when the system in question is hundreds of miles
away as it was yesterday (Sunday), and I have to drive in to sign on to
the system, PWRDWNSYS, and sign off.  Forty-five minutes wasted.  Oh
well, that's why I love this job, right?  <g>
