It could be that they have SET BROADCAST=NONE to prevent them from receiving
interactive messages, such as SENDs, PHONE messages, e-mail receipt
notifications, etc. Usually this is done when a person needs or wants to
work uninterrupted. Here are the parameters for the SET BROADCAST command:
SET
BROADCAST
Parameter
class-name[,...]
Specifies the class of message that you want to enable or disable
for broadcast to your terminal. If you specify only one class,
you can omit the parentheses. The class names are as follows:
ALL Enables all message classes.
[NO]DCL Specifies Ctrl/T and SPAWN/NOTIFY messages.
[NO]GENERAL Specifies all normal REPLY messages or
messages from $BRDCST.
[NO]MAIL Specifies notification of mail.
NONE Disables all message classes.
[NO]OPCOM Specifies messages issued by the operator
communication process (OPCOM).
[NO]PHONE Specifies messages from the Phone utility.
[NO]QUEUE Specifies messages referring to print or
batch jobs issued by the queue manager.
[NO]SHUTDOWN Specifies messages issued from the REPLY
/SHUTDOWN command.
[NO]URGENT Specifies messages issued from the REPLY
/URGENT command.
[NO]USER1 to Specifies messages from specific user
[NO]USER16 groups. (For information on setting up
user-written broadcast messages, see the
description of the $BRKTHRU system service
in the OpenVMS System Services Reference
Manual.)
