Joe,

if you look at the line above (which ought to mean July 9th 1998) then you
should interpret the IPL date as March 18th 2001, isn't it.
So it would be not once a month but once every two years :-)

Once a month... too often.

Though I'm not advocating someone install TSM or TSM on a mainframe,
I'll offer that we don't IPL our mainframe very often.  Here's the
output of a command I just entered ...

  q cplevel
VM/ESA Version 2 Release 3.0, service level 9803
Generated at 07/09/98 12:19:20 EST
IPL at 03/18/01 07:17:35 EST

But then the mainframe isn't as big as some of our Linux/AIX/Solaris
servers. ;-)

cheers, wayne
