RE: Controlling subsystem not active.

That is basically the status when you perform an ENDSYS command. The
controlling subsystem does not show that it is ended or ending but
restricted.

Subject: 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.
