Automating M36 SSP shutdown from OS/400

[lleach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm trying to automate the STOP SYSTEM and POWER OFF machine 36 commands to
 accomodate an unattended backup on the AS/400 (V3R7) side of
the system. I have been unable to do this programatically thus far, as the
STRM36PRC command is only allowed to run interactively.

Does anyone know if this is even possible? My desire is, at a predetermined
 time, to programatically in batch shutdown the SSP machine 36, run my
daily,
weekly, or monthly backups, and perform the STRM36 command. If it is not
possible, is there any functionality in SSP similar to the OS/400 Job
Scheduler
which would allow for unattended shutdown of SSP from SSP?

I don't really want to run the ENDM36 command from OS/400 as all the books
indicate unpredictible results may occur.

I have searched the Multiple OS Operator Guide and the OS/400 & SSP
co-existence redbook and have yet to find this information.

Many thanks in advance for any information/insight you can provide.
