Depends on what you have available. - If your users on on PC's, then you can use windows messaging system - If your users are running a terminal emulator, there are some that allow you to update the title line - If you are running SB+ on top of UV or UD, then you can use the office send message tool - Some terminal types and support a 25th status line that can also be used for programmatically displaying a message. Your application you are running would have to have a way to display the message a the appropriate point.
HTH Rod Hills -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pamela J Robbins Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 9:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Broadcasting messages We want to send messages to the users when we need to shut the system down. We tried MESSAGE from Universe, but it displayed the message at the cursor position and doesn't refresh the screen. We've turned off UNIX messages because the users were getting all kinds of messages that were doing the same thing. Anyone know of a way to send messages out to all logged in users so that it shows up on a specific line of the screen? -- Pamela J Robbins New Bolton Center Senior Programmer Analyst School of Veterinary Medicine [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Pennsylvania 610-925-6438 ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ___________________________________________________ This e-mail and any attachments are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain privileged and confidential information.
