Easy way to solve it. Create a batch file that does the inetd.net -k. Setup the job to run as manager.sys. Change the file security to xeq only and put a lockword on it. Anybody that has a need to shut it down can do so... by stream the job. The job can include the inetd.net -k, a pause, set a variable if JINETD is still running. If still running, then it can do an ABORTJOB. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
