Here is what I do (crude, but it works).  I do this from a box that TSM
is not running on, in case not only TSM crashes, but the whole box
crashes:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

ADMIN=userid
ADMINPASS=passwrd
ADSMPATH=/usr/bin

$ADSMPATH/dsmadmc -id=$ADMIN -password=$ADMINPASS q proc > /tmp/proc.out
temp=`grep -c AIX /tmp/proc.out`

if  [ "$temp" = "0" ]; then
        /usr/bin/mailx user@email < /usr/local/adsmdown
fi
