The following command changes your own operator profile to allow the receipt of
unsolicited messages:
PROFILE UNSOL=YES
The SHOW USERS and SHOW OCS commands display information about real users.
Virtual Users Virtual users are NonStop NET/MASTER MS users that act the same as a real user
and have the same attributes as real users operating in OCS, except that they do not
have an associated terminal. Virtual users, however, have a logical terminal and a
logical window that logically operates in OCS and, therefore, has a primary processing
environment associated with it.
Every NonStop NET/MASTER MS system has, by default, five system-wide virtual
users:
The Background Logger (BLOG)
The Background Monitor (BMON)
The Background System Process (BSYS)
The Event Management Service Process (EMSP)
The Activity Log Process (LOGP)
These virtual users are created by default when NonStop NET/MASTER MS starts,
and exist as long as NonStop NET/MASTER MS is running (unless you explicitly stop
them). Since virtual users do not have a terminal associated with them, they are
regarded as working in a background processing environment.
Table 16-3 summarizes the main job of the virtual users.

Background Logger (BLOG) Executes NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands
and logs the results.
Background Monitor (BMON) Executes NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands
and sends results to monitor-class users.
Background System Process (BSYS) Executes the INIT and READY NCL procedures
during NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup.
Event Management Service Process (EMSP) Controls the EMSPROC NCL procedure.
Activity Log Process (LOGP) Controls the LOGPROC NCL procedure.
