I've been using a remote terminal connected to USS under a mainframe for some time. Is there a way to configure this terminal to be colored? I'm using PuTTY and xterm. **Added:** USS stands for UNIX System Services , UNIX implementation for mainframes.

I am using IBM z/OS390 and I am using the OMVS shell. I don't have "vi" installed at all so I use "oedit". If I try to initialize the app.jar straigh from OMVS shell it Works perfectly. I mean, if I reach the java directory and start the app from there with the two commands below, it Works 100%. cd /WebSphere/was85/mycel/mynode/AppServer/java_1.7_64/bin ./java -cp /usr/my.jar com/com.my_comapny_witt_entire_name/myMain I created a script file via OEDIT and added both lines. The second was broke in two lines. Unfortunatelly I am getting this error obviously because while running, the second command line has been treated as diferente two lines. $ ./script_boot_app Error: Could not find or load main class com.my_comapny_witt_entire_name. /myMain: ./script_boot_app 3: FSUM7351 not found Probably if the path and java package names were smaller enough to fit in one line it wouldn't happen. So my question is: how can I use OEDIT and guarante that multiple lines will be treated as just one line exactly as I did when executing the command straight from shell? When typing straigh in OMVS shell and the end of line is reached, naturaly I continue in the below line and it is executed as a single command line. How can I do the same inside of a script created in OEDIT tool?

I don't know how to get the TAB key to autocomplete filenames, commands, or anything at all. I'm on a Unix-like system (OS/390) and depend on several scripts that work in sh (Bourne shell, not BASH), but not in other shells (tcsh, for example), so I can't switch shells. I usually connect to this system via ssh or telnet from Ubuntu's GNOME Terminal running bash locally. Other people connect to the OS/390 system via telnet from the Windows XP command prompt, and they are able to autocomplete with the TAB key after issuing "set -o emacs". When I issue "set -o emacs", I get some of the appropriate functionality (ctrl-p to step backward through the history, for example), but not autocomplete. I am aware of the "set -o vi" option, but using "ESC-*", etc does not appeal to me because I know that the simple TAB key works for other people. Is there something about Ubuntu, the GNOME Terminal, bash, or ssh that sends a different tab character than a Windows XP command prompt running telnet? Does anyone have an idea as to why I might not be able to get tab to autocomplete while people on that same remote machine, running the same shell, can? **What should be done in order to enable *tab auto-complete*?**

I am trying to build gcc G4.8.5 for architecture s390x(cross compiled) on x86 32(sles10 patchlevel 4) 2.6.16.60-0.85.1-vmipae for sles12sp2 and i am getting an error /s390x-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lm collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status --------------------------------------------- /s390x-suse-linux/libstdc++-v3/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: Leaving directory `toolchain_s390/build.s390x/gcc/s390x-suse-linux/libstdc++-v3' make: *** [all] Error 2 Error building GCC Any guidance in right direction is highly appreciated Update: I am able to build binutils compat compat_binutils compat_gcc compat_gettext compat_links compat_m4 gmp links mpc mpfr

I need to install NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) on corporate zLinux server (SLES 11 SP 3 on z/OS machine). Here are the inputs: 1. I have root 2. I don't have compilers there (gcc or g++) and I doubt I can get them installed 3. I don't have support from any other admins (on the project my primary responsibility is development, and because of lack of resources I have to do Linux set up myself) So, my options are: 1. Find NSIS binary rpm for SLES on s390x platform - probability close to 0 2. Set up some other PC machine with compiler and cross-compile - probability close to 0.001 as I never had a deal with compilers and cross compiling 3. Find Wine binary rpm and after install transfer NSIS MS Windows binaries to zLinux machine - probability close to 0.01% as seems Wine also not popular application for Linux on z/OS platform **<== It was a mistake Wine requires Intel processor, it can not run on zLinux** Any help is highly appreciated. **UPDATE:** file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, IBM S/390, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

*echo $?* in the following scenario does not display the return value, i.e. 1. echo "int main() { return 1; }" > foo.c gcc foo.c && ./a.out && echo $? However, *echo $?* works when the program returns 0. Why is this? Note: If you do another *echo $?* after the code above, you get the desired output 1.

I found this [link](http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/) for a group that is converting fedora RPM's to run on S/390 hardware. [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S390) tells me that the S/390 was made by IBM as a mainframe computer in the 1990's (and run out of service before 2000). So I have two questions: Why would you run a "standard desktop" OS on a (deprecated) mainframe? and are there any practical applications for a 1990's mainframe nowadays? The site seems to be pretty active, so I feel I must be missing something in its purpose.
