[fa.info-vax] Operator messages...

MANAGER%UMDHEP.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA (09/12/85)

I am forwarding this for a friend. Replies should be directed
to him at DEGROOT%HWALHW5.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA

If an operator issues the command:
$ REPLY/STATUS
he gets information about pending requests.
It would be nice to have that information in a file in order to
enable a command procedure to do some checking on the requests.

Does anyone out there know how to direct REPLY messages to
a disk file. I know that playing with logical names will allow
one to enable some other terminal than your own as an
operator terminal. Perhaps it can also be done for a disk file
in some way.

Ever looked at the file OPERATOR.LOG in SYS$MANAGER:?
It's a transcript of every action OPCOM
takes/processes. On a cluster it even
containts part of the node init
dialog that is done during startup and
never get's printed. (the OPCOM's get
together and decide to have a party,
until one of them "dies".. Fun bunch
or programs..)

You can read it as long as you fool RMS
into giving you access to the file... (a familiar concept...)
