[comp.os.vms] REPLY/DISABLE on the console

EWR@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU (Betsy Ramsey) (04/23/87)

	There were some messages earlier that pointed out that you
	can disable some OPCOM messages on the console by using
	commands

		$ DEFINE/USER SYS$COMMAND OPA0
		$ REPLY/DISABLE=whatever

	This also appears to prevent the messages from appearing
	in the OPERATOR.LOG file.

	Is there some way to inhibit them on the console but still
	get them in the OPERATOR.LOG file?

	What I really want to do is get my SECURITY messages logged
	somewhere other than the console.  If I could log them to
	the file of my choice, that would be nice.  Any way to do that?

  To stop the security messages from going to OPA0: I use:
SET TERM OPA0:/NOBROAD </PERM; I dont remember offhand if PERM is required>.
This of course turns off all messages to OPA0:, but doesnt stop them
from showing up in operator.log.

  We run several uVaxen here and couldnt have OPA0: keep breaking in with
security messages on the workstations, so thats how I solved the problem.

Hope it helps.
