Mark,

TERMDSM does not always get rid of the session either. I spent quite a
bit of time a few years back trying to automate aborting sessions. The
Boeing utility BOUNCER was the ONLY utility I have ever seen that
succeeds every time. But Boeing tells me it does not work on MPE/IX 5.

In the past, we issued abortios, we did the abortjob, we ran TERMDSM, we
issued tells, we looped and tried again, etc. etc. etc. It did not
ALWAYS work. Since we had no operator, this was not good enough as we
did not get a good backup if people were still logged on.

So, maybe you can try all that and then issue a page after say 3-5 loops
thru the process.
