If the machine is powered on it will not attempt an IPL. It must be powered off.

And yes, Jerry is better off letting it run especially on such an artifact. Eventually a fan, and drive, etc will fail to spin up and it doesn't come back up.

Nothing. I remember way back when someone telling me not to power off/on,
just to do a pwrdwnsys restart(*YES). Something about letting the
components cool off and heat up for an hour once a week.

Working on a very old system (V4R4). No comments pls.

I don't use any power off/on schedules.

However.....

The machine is scheduled to power off every Monday at 4am.

The machine is scheduled to power on every day at 5am.

The result is that it IPLs every Monday.

What happens when a machine is already powered on and it tries to power on
again. (ie: at 5am)?

Thanks,

Jerry
