AS/400 HELP

"SPOOLMON"

(OUTQ MONITOR)

ll

(see line 5 above)

SPOOLMON monitors an outq to see if the number of unprinted spool files goes over the maximum (threshold) to watch for. It then sends a break message to the user selected to any screen he/she is signed on. A message goes to the system history log and an e-mail or pager message can be sent.

SPOOLMON sends one message per day. It resets the message sent flag after midnight.

SPOOLMON was developed at V5r1.
