Re: MOTD. (Message of the day)
|
Yes I agree, as rexx would not have been around circa 1978 at the university.??? The “fortune cookie” thing that Volker has is more or less exactly what I am asking about.? I built my system from scratch (if you can it that) following Jay
Mosley’s excellent instructions and learned quite a bit in doing so rather than booting a pre made system.? But am a novice without a doubt.
So a CLIST sounds like the ticket, is the “fortune cookie” code available? Or something similar?? Most of the time in the Unix world I lived in so many years, I found scripts that sorta did what I wanted and then modified them rather that
start with a clean sheet of coding paper.? Teaches a lot about others logic doing that too.
?
Thanks,
Dave

This wouldve?been a CLIST executed as part of your logon PROC.

Is anyone aware of a utility for a MOTD (Message of the day) utility for MVS??? I seem to remember back 40yr ago we always got a humorous message as I am guessing a broadcast message
when we logged on, sometimes it was informative like ‘the system will be unavailable from 18:00 to 20:00’ or other times it just was funny.
Was this just the operators manually creating a MOTD (obviously the maint schedule would be), or is there a utility to generate a automatic message??? I could not find anything
in searching CBT or Google, other than ones for old Unix versions or Windows.?

Thanks,
