Yeah, it works. It does tend to eatup spoolfiles on our system though;
about 50% of the time, spoolfiles which run the shell become unprintable
and undelete-able (get a bad block error). This may(?) have been fixed in
the latest patches (I don't know the current status). They do execute
fine though.
