Re: AS/400 and RS6000 -- MIDRANGE-L

This can be done, however it was not as easy as I expected and I must thank
Jeff Silberberg for his help.  Below are some excepts from his responses and
my original questions:


Carl,

Check the inetd.conf only tells you what is set to happen at IPL,
check the system with "ps -ef | grep rexed" to be sure that all is happy.

Next do a simple check I am alive command instead of the
application.

cmd(df) or cmd(w) or cmd(uname -a)

these will bring a listing of some sort back and tell you rather
you are getting to the system and rather rexed is functioning.

Lastly, "run stc.322gatex" implies that there is a shell script
called "run" that you are passing the value "stc.322gatex" into.  This
script must live in a directory on the RS/6000 and the "rexecd" may not
have a path to the "run" script.

Let me know !

Subject: AS/400 and RS6000


|Does anyone know how to start a script on an RS6000 from an AS/400.
|
|When I connect to our AS/400 from our RS6000 (or from any other system) via
|FTP, I can use the RCMD subcommand to run commands on the AS/400 directly
|from the other system.  This works great!  It gives me the flexibility to
|run AS/400 programs based on what happens on another system.
|
|I can't figure any similar mechanism going from the AS/400 to the RS6000,
|however.  Basically, I want to run a job on the AS/400.  When that job
|finishes, I want it to automatically put files onto the RS6000 via FTP, and
|then start a script on the RS6000.  I can't figure out how to start a
|script.  I'm hoping someone with more UNIX experience can help me.
|
|Any help would be appreciated.
|
|Thanks,
|
|Bob L.
