The SNDBRKMSG command breaks regardless of the setting of the message queue. It breaks into a workstation message queue, not the user profile message queue. But you say that you want to break to certain workstations, so it sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

Hi all,

I've been asked to change the system in such a way as to interrupt
certain workstations at regular scheduled times to perform an often
forgotten task.

I'm considering using a break message handling program, which can be set
up via the CHGMSGQ command, and then have a scheduled job send a message
to the workstations at the proper times.

First off, are there any other better methods for such a task?

The more difficult problem with this method is that the CHGMSGQ command
needs to be run every time a user logs into the workstation.  At this
site, the initial program is sacred for political reasons and must not
be modified.

How might I have a new job run a command without changing the initial
program?


Thanks.
