Re: Rép. : Option 21 Save - QSTRUPPGM

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

This way that I handled all this was to write what I called a Console
Monitor.

You log on as user CONSOLEMON and the console monitor sits and waits for
commands to arrive from the job scheduler and than executes the requested
command so it is completely unattended and it is designed to be secure.

Since the requested commands execute a program you can have the program do
anything you want it to do.

I have a zip with all the source code and objects @ V5R2M0 level,
documentation and sample programs if you are interested.
