MSG
•
To exit the monitor mode, send a break message to Seedit. For example:
BREAK seeditx
Examples
These examples demonstrate the MONITOR command:
MSG
The MSG command sends message-text to the SeeView programs specified by
distribution.
distribution
specifies either the process name of a running SeeView program or a SeeView
object file name on disk. If you specify an object file name, all running SeeView
programs with that object filename receive message-text.
message-text
displays text immediately on line 25 of the terminals associated with the specified
SeeView processes.
Considerations
For a SeeView process to accept a MSG or SEND command, that SeeView process
must have a task named MYMAIL as one of its tasks. If a task MYMAIL has not been
declared, the Seedit SEND or MSG command receives a security error 48. Anyone
designing a custom shell that does not coexist with the standard SeeShell needs to
include the following statement in the custom shell to allow the MSG and SEND
statements:
TASK MYMAIL := $my;
Example
This example demonstrates the MSG command:
MONITOR $DATA.PWAY.PATHLOG{ show PATHMON log activity
MONITOR $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.OPRLOG{ show OPRLOG activity
MSG distribution message-text
Note. The standard SeeShell automatically declares a task MYMAIL as a socket for MSG and
SEND commands.
MSG $MM How about lunch?
