Commands for Linux on IBM Z
You can use z/Architecture® specific commands to configure and work with the Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9.2 for IBM Z device drivers and features.
s390utils
Most of the commands described in this section are included in the s390utils package.
Some commands come with an initialization script or a configuration file or both. For init as the initialization process, it is assumed that such scripts are installed in /etc/init.d/. You can extract any missing files from the etc subdirectory in the s390utils package.
