I mean .. comm on Mr Luddite ... linux is the best thing s390 has
seen since CP/CMS showed up
and to replicate the function of scripting languages ..
dont you use REXX at least ?
Common man ... did you lock yourself in a glass house
with a 360/67 and are still hiding from tha man ?
Things have been happening out here, we have had this
factor called "progress",, there has been advancement !

But REXX isn't a big stinking pile of crap. And I use a whole lot of JCL.

And those business procs go down the BOFH that killed em
will be looking for a new job ...
There are over 10,000 Linux sessions on the machine @
http://linux390.nop.org
1000's opon 1000's of compiles benches test suites going
all at once ...
As for resources
[root /root]# w
4:15am up 153 days, 11:44, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root pts/0 fubar Sun 6am 21:23m 0.03s 0.03s -bash
root pts/1 fubar 4:15am 0.00s 0.04s 0.01s w
all of the 10's of 1000's of sessions have run un interrupted far
as we can tell
[root/root]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 127408 75860 51548 42796 47048 18360
That my small "piece" of the mainframe .. 128m of ram and a portion
of one CPU.
Perhaps you refer to a bonehead oper who wouldnt know how
to set limits on the guests so that 1000's opon 1000s of of them
can suck all the cpu they are allowed and still be playing nicly
with all the others ..
I see a faint image of a red herring starting to appear.

Do you honestly see Perl improving these numbers? FYI, I *own* an S/390
G5. I've *run* it. I know *exactly* what one can do.
