RE: Break handling program

["York, Albert" <albert.york@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the reasons I used a special message queue is because it can be
protected better than the workstation message queue.

I am not sending messages to batch jobs just interactive jobs. I can include
the command in the message but it has to be prefixed with a special code
word before the break handling program will execute it.

Normally, the QSECOFR signon doesn't execute the program which creates the
message queue so you can't send commands to its job.

        Albert, this sounds interesting.  But why not CHGMSGQ the
workstation
        message queue?  Are you sending commands to batch jobs?

        Also, do you send the command in the message?  If so, what's to
prevent
        someone from subverting the entire system by sending a malicious
message
        command to, say, QSECOFR?
