The RESTART utility allows users outside the [[Model 204]] address space to
issue certain commands while the [[ONLINE]] or [[BATCH204]] job is running.
Users can be authorized to do this with the RESTAUTH command.
Since under MVS it is impossible to determine the originator of a MODIFY
command, any user that is capable of issuing a MODIFY command is
considered to be authorized by the RESTART utility.
Since generally, most users don't have this privilege, this is not a problem.

Under CMS, however, RESTART utility commands are issued via the VM SMSG
facility, a facility available to all users.
Fortunately, the issuer of a SMSG command to the RESTART utility can be
determined so a user must be authorized to issue RESTART utility commands
via the RESTAUTH command.
RESTAUTH is a <var class="product">Model 204</var> command that can only be issued by a system
manager or system administrator.
===RESTAUTH command syntax===
RESTAUTH userlist

The RESTAUTH command should be followed by a list of userids that are
authorized to issue RESTART utility commands.
For example:
<pre>
RESTAUTH SKIPPER GILLIGAN
</pre>
authorizes CMS users SKIPPER and GILLIGAN to issue RESTART utility
commands (via SMSG).
Wildcards can also be used in the userids.
An asterisk matches any group of characters and a question mark matches
any single character.
For example:
<pre>
RESTAUTH PROF* *ANN GING?? *HOWE*
</pre>
authorizes any CMS userid that begins with the letters 'PROF', ends
with the letters 'ANN', begins with the letters 'GING' and is exactly
six characters long, or has the letters 'HOWE' anywhere in it to issue
RESTART utility commands (via SMSG).
