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.
