The virtual users are displayed when you issue a SHOW USERS command, as shown
in the following example:

The user ID of the virtual user is the name of the virtual user prefixed by a domain ID
(SYS1). (OPER1 is a real user.)
Submitting Commands to
Virtual Users
You can submit a command for a virtual user to execute by using the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS SUBMIT command. The processing of that command is managed
entirely by the virtual user and is not affected if you then log off from NonStop
NET/MASTER MS. Background environments, therefore, are ideal for system-
monitoring functions such as executing a procedure that regularly checks the status of
network components.
The destination of the output depends on the virtual user processing the command.
For example, the results of commands sent to BLOG are sent only to the activity log.
The results of commands sent to BMON are sent to all monitor-class operator
terminals as well as to the activity log.
The following example tells BMON to execute the NCL procedure MYPROC:
SUBMIT BMON START MYPROC
You can also use the KEEP or ROUTE operands of the AT and EVERY commands to
send a timer command to execute under the control of a virtual user.
The next example sends a command to BLOG to execute the SHOW USERS command
at 6:00 p.m.:
AT 18:00 ROUTE=LOG CMD=SHOW USERS
Virtual users are discussed in more detail in the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL
Programmer’s Guide.
