RE: SAVSYS question

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Steve:

I'm not aware that SAVSYS restarts the system (but I haven't personally run the 
command for quite a while). As mentioned in another post, I'd assume you meant 
option 21 or 22 from the SAVE menu rather than the SAVSYS command.

When I was regularly involved in these functions, it was _not_ a good idea to 
call the system startup program directly. This commonly would leave the 
controlling subsystem in END status since the startup program wouldn't have a 
STRSBS for the controlling subsystem in it. Instead, issuing STRSBS for the 
controlling subsystem would start the subsystem, and that would cause the 
startup program to run automatically. (I've run across a site where this not 
the case, but that's a whole other story.)

Note that the help for those SAVE menu options shows the basic commands that 
are run behind the options. This might be enough to fill in what you want to 
know.
