2 Message
!
The message to be sent must be 80 or fewer characters, and must be
enclosed in quotation marks.  Example:

        $ NOTIFY "This is the message"

When the message is displayed on the screen, it is in bold reverse
video, and the terminal's bell will ring four times.


2 Format_1

When used in a batch job,  this format prints the message  in the batch
log,  and also sends  the message  to all terminals  at which the batch
job's submitter is logged in.

When used in an interactive command procedure, the message is displayed
on the terminal  running the procedure.  The message  is shown  in bold
reverse video and the bell is rung four times.

Example:

          $ NOTIFY "The XXX Procedure Aborted"


2 Format_2

This format sends a message to the specified user(s), if they are cur-
rently logged in.   The users must be  in your group,  unless you have
WORLD privilege.

Examples:

          $ NOTIFY /USER=JONES "Message"

          $ NOTIFY /USERS=(JONES,ADAMS) "Message"

The parentheses are required if more than one user is specified.


2 Format_3

This format sends a message to the specified terminal(s), even if there
is nobody logged in there.

Examples:

          $ NOTIFY /TERMINAL=TTA0 "Message"

          $ NOTIFY /USERS=(TTA0,TTB2) "Message"

The parentheses are required if more than one terminal is specified.  A
leading underscore or trailing colon is optional in terminal names.


2 Format_4

This format sends a message to all currently-logged-in users in your 
group.

If you have WORLD privilege, the message is EVERY logged-in user.

Example:

          $ NOTIFY /ALL "Going down in 5 minutes"
