So SUBMITs (and KSYS) do not work? :(


SET KSYS works 85% of the way.

.copy test.ctl=tty:
.dir
^Z

.submit test
[Batch job TEST queued, request #10, limit 0:05:00]

That also works most of the way

Note that processes named BATCON start only when there are batch jobs to run
and then exit after some timeout: don't expect to always see BATCONs around.

How would I do LCP START at boot?   SYSTEM.CMD or should I start it from
SYSJOB.INI?   I'm assuming as it's an OPR command I run it from SYSTEM.CMD?

I have this in my SYSTEM.CMD:

LCP SET MULTICAST-TIMER 45 <--- or whatever you like/need
LCP SET GROUPS 0
LCP SET SERVICE-NAME xxxxxx /RATING: DYNAMIC
LCP SET SERVICE-NAME xxxxxx /IDENT:   "blah blah blah"
LCP START

That's more work than just typing "LCP START" at OPR during boot. ;)

I was just curious as LCP START is in SYSTEM.CMD.


I added these two also, which may be useful if you plan to keep it always up:

CLOSE LOG EVERY MONDAY 00:00
SET USAGE FILE-CLOSURE EVERY MONDAY 00:00

That is, it "rotates" logs like Linux/Unix does :)


I'll add that.   That sounds quite useful.
