Re: QSTRUP modification

What I've done for my clients is have QSTRUP send an inquiry message to QSYSOPR.
RCVMSG using a wait of ten minutes.
If the RCVMSG times out or if an operator is available and answers "G" it starts
the sub-systems etc.
If the operator answers "C" I short cut the startup because I want to do some
"system" things without giving the users their sub-system.

This way I still can have an un-attended IPL and when I am doing installs or
upgrades it's easy to prevent the extra startups.
