Another approach is to leverage Windows directly. ? Using ooRexx you could control windows e.g. via OLE.
? You would have to find the correct window and to read the contents. Then send the appropriate message. ? Best regards Mike ?

? Hello,
I am looking for a method (Rexx script in Hercules?) to start VM/CE in an unattended mode. Unfirtunately, Windows will restart on its own not respecting that Hercules and VM/CE are runnung.
The situation is I am making my system available to friends around the world, They will be using WC3270 (or similar) to connect and log into their account(s) on my VM/CE system.
The problem is Windows restarts without giving Hercules and its operating systems a chance to shutdown properly. I don't want to have my friends waiting till I come and type in the spool file disposition (e.g., CKPT, COLD, FORCE,etc.).
I'm wondering is it possible to have REXX in Hercules handle this situation? (Look at VM's message and input a response till VM starts.) If yes, how?
Thank you,
