Controlling subsystem not active.

Normally when I check to see if the controlling subsystem is not active I
simply do a
WRKACTJOB SBS(myctlsbsd)
If the subsystem has an END state then I know that the system is pretty
much in a restricted state.
However today I experienced one where that wasn't the case. Numerous jobs
running including 8 domino servers. However I couldn't telnet to this
machine. Thanks for HMC so that I could check it out via the system
console from my desk.
WRKACTJOB SBS(QBASE) doesn't show the subsystem in an END state.
However an IBMer pointed out that if I did
WRKSBS
F11=Display system data
The status of that subsystem was RSTD. Issued a STRSBS QBASE (even though
it was already running) and telnet was soon up and running. Granted a
bazillion other jobs that were held up on job queues, etc., started to
run.

Just one for the archives.
