[mod.computers.vax] VMS SET TIME command request

BRENT@uwovax.UWO.CDN.UUCP (02/25/87)

   Our users also run on a TOPS-10 system where they can override
the default time limit for jobs with a monitor command.  I am aware
that no similar command exists under VMS, and that the properties of
the UAF time limit differ from the effect under TOPS.  I am also aware
of the system service which I could use to let a user change his own
UAF entry.
   But what I  *REALLY**  want is to allow a user to change his cpu
time limit for his current process.  Has anyone done this, or can
you suggest a method I might use?  I wold like our customer base to
bear this responsibility instead of our accounting office.
   Thanks and all that stuff.  Brent.
