RE: Running a command in another job

I normally take the heavy-handed approach of just ending the job.

A better option would be to have a data area that the program checks. If the data area is true, have the job reclaim the activation group and set the data area to false.

Subject: Running a command in another job

I have a web service running in a named activation group in a CGI server job. The activation group stays around between calls to improve performance. When doing development, I need to end the activation group so the program will shut down in order for it to pick up any program changes I made. I could specify activation group *NEW when I'm doing development, but I wouldn't want to do that in production. So, my idea was to run a RCLACTGRP command in the server job from my interactive job. I know there is a way to do that, but I can't remember how. I tried some searching on the web, but I didn't have much luck. Anyone remember how to run a command in another job that is active?
