Tso users Christmas Lights online?
I am back at work again (took a LONG hiatus after my knock down, drag out with Changeman
in DC), and I have a need. I need to be able to collect a list of TSO users logged on.
We have a program here that does it, however the output comes to the TSO screen no matter
what I try to use to trap it (outtrap, piping to sysout, etc). |

-I can hack something together real quick to do this. Do you just need
the JOB ID's or more info (like CPU time, how long connected, etc)? -Have you asked Phoenix Software if they can help with this request
natively? (just trying to keep it simple) -I've looked a few times at CHRISTMAS EXEC but I don't get it. (I also
haven't worked on VM/CMS in almost 20 years so maybe I'm missing
something.) -CHRISTMA EXEC (on VM) manufactured a panel which had (if I recall correctly) an
ASCII snowman with multi-colored snowflakes falling around him. While the user
was watching the pretty blinking lights, it opened the users NETLOG and
extracted all userids from it. Then it opened the users NAMES file and ditto.
Then it sent a copy of itself (with ACK) to every userid it could find. Then it
erased itself. A few months before it hit I sent a note to someone in RTP asking about (-?-)
and he had set a 'delegate' for the guy down the hall. He it was who triggered
CHRISTMA EXEC at his location and I got a copy because someone I sent a note to
was on vacation! -It certainly is a virus (if you use the term "virus" to mean malware,
rather than as a specific subtype of malware). Specifically, it is a
Trojan Horse -- a program which does something desirable, but carries an
unpleasant payload hidden inside. |
