RE: Remote IPL form telnet

Our system is setup to power down Saturday just after midnite, and power up 
again Sunday after dawn, except I disable that on end-month fiscal 
weekend.  I picked that time after analysing when weekend users typically 
needed on the system.  It saves a little electricity $ also.

It is good for the hardware to get an occasional re-boot.
It does not need it nearly as often as Windows, every few months is good 
enough, but we can forget, so having a schedule in GO POWER means it does 
not matter if we forget.

With WRKSYSVAL you can manage what gets recovered in an IPL.
& then forget about that also.
