Right. touch is a standard unix command; it officially is used for
updating the access or last modified time of a file, but it's often used
sort of as a utility command in the way IEFBR14 can be used to create a
file.
So I would think a job step like:
//TOUCH EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='SH touch -c /u/usr/xerox/tmpfile'
would force USS to go see if /u/usr/xerox/tmpfile exists, and therefore
require NFS to reestablish a full connection to the server, after you've
run the automount command. The -c option tells touch not to create a file
that isn't already there, so that should prevent any file from actually
being created. I haven't tested this, though I'm trying to get in touch
with one of the NFS folks to see if this is known/expected behavior.
Note that case matters in the PARM statement.
