RE: qshell script to drop servers

Rob,

When you run those commands in batch, you don't get the "press enter" messages. 
All you should need to do is dump the commands you've listed below into a file 
in the IFS and you should be all set.

Subject: [WEB400] qshell script to drop servers


According to:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pvc/wp/502/smbi/en/InfoCenter/wpf/inst_startstop.html

to stop and start a server I can do it through the webadmin client or via 
qshell.  I'd like to do it via qshell scripts in order to put it in backup 
procedures, etc.

So, I am thinking I need to create a qshell script like the following:
# Stop the Websphere portal instances
cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/PME/bin
stopServer -instance WAS5Portal WAS5Portal -user MyUser -password MyPwd
stopServer -instance default server1 -user MyUser -password MyPwd
# end of file

Then I can run it with something like:
STRQSH CMD('/Operations/DownServers.sh')

Next I'll have to start figuring out how to handle:
- The "Press Enter to end terminal emulation" screen.
- Exception handling.
- Logging

Pretty simple, or do I need a book on QSHELL scripting?  Will some freebie 
infocenter link do it, or do you recommend one of the books at
http://store.midrange.com
like "QSHELL for iSeries"
