Hello Fish,

Just for the record, for years I'm ending OS/390 by just issuing a quit to the Hercules console to make it close the disk files properly.
So you DO care about Hercules closing its disks properly but DON'T care about your OS/390 guest closing its disks properly?
Yes, because I've not seen any adverse effects.
In contrast, sending a SIGTERM to Hercules does leave the disk files in a state where they need repair.
You're a strange person, Patrik. :)
Thanks for the compliment I hereby return. ;-)
Of course I do this while the system is idle from user-submitted jobs.
But to hell with any system processes who's disk buffers might not have been flushed yet? You don't care about those? They're not important, right?
See my original comment. No adverse effects seen, do only on a quiet system.
For *me* it works. Your mileage may vary.
Too lazy to manually wade through the shutdown sequence,
or trying to automate it as did TK4-.
Of course! No one wants to mess with any stinking automation after all. Just pull the plug!
Do I smell some personal offense of yours?
Had not noticed any adverse effects.
Well, each guest is different I guess. OS/390 must obviously behave quite a bit differently than other guest operating systems.
Apparently.
Your mileage may vary.
Indeed. If it works for you? Fine.
Exactly.
But I personally would *never* publicly recommend such an irresponsible highly risky procedure to others.
As I said, it works for me without visible or even adverse effects.
But then as I guess you say, your mileage may vary. Right? >;-)
Correct.
p.s. I'm curious: do you power off you Linux host operating system the same way? Just pull the plug?
No. Because at next boot, I'll get journal recovery notes.
I'm not aware of any WTO messages regarding my habit on OS/390.
:wq! PoC
