Re: I hosting I safeguard for PWRDWNSYS

[Bryan Dietz <bdietz400@xxxxxxxxx>]

As you look into the ways to accomplish, have a look at Scott’s UNIXCMD programs.

Makes it different/easier to communicate with a HMC without having to use QSH/PASE

This would make sense, and would be very cool.  I found a document that explains the process in detail, but it does seem to rely heavily on SSH, an area where I'm not exactly an expert.  (I know that's a large field, but be nice, it's the holidays.)
