RE: Administering GO ASSIST

Rob,

Those commands executed from the Assist menu are stored in the system
message file. You could go in there and change the message text so that it
cannot execute the command.

Or if you want a better way to do it.....

You could read my article on how to prevent access to the system request
menu on IT Jungle:

Subject: Administering GO ASSIST

Is there some way to administer the options in the menu GO ASSIST?  I get 
rather annoyed that an employee of some small division on a partion that 
supports several divisions in multiple countries does a 
GO ASSIST
4. Send messages
Interrupt user Y
Message text:  Sign off.  We are doing period end.
Send to:  *ALL

If I have to administer this using iSeries Navigator I can accept that.

Bad enough that it has *ALLACT, but with *ALL someone comes back from 
vacation logs on and the first thing he gets is a message telling him to 
sign off immediately.

I already did a CHGCMD SNDBRKMSG and took away *INTERACT.  We have 
wrappers for the command to send to a particular user.
