Exit programs will let you control things like remote commands. IBM gives you the hooks to attach to, but you're on your own to actually write the exit programs. I did it myself for a while, but we recently bought a HelpSystems package to do it.

I'm think some sort of run remote command.

Created havoc on our LPAR for a bit.
I got all system values changed back to original, except for QAUDLVL , still need to find those original settings.
1) If this was run with remote command, how can we lock this down, except for certain users?
Thank You
