     NAME
	  qmsg - send message to batch jobs

     SYNOPSIS
	  qmsg [-E] [-O] message_string	job_identifier ...

     DESCRIPTION
	  To send a message to a job is	to write a message string into
	  one or more output files of the job.	Typically this is done
	  to leave an informative message in the output	of the job.

	  The qmsg command writes messages into	the files of jobs by
	  sending a Message Job	batch request to the batch server that
	  owns the job.	 The qmsg command does not directly write the
	  message into the files of the	job.

     OPTIONS
	  -E		 Specifies that	the message is written to the
			 standard error	of each	job.

	  -O		 Specifies that	the message is written to the
			 standard output of each job.

	  If neither the -E nor	the -O option is specified, the
	  message will be written to the standard error	of the job.

     OPERANDS
	  The first operand, message_string, is	the message to be
	  written.  If the string contains blanks, the string must be
	  quoted.  If the final	character of the string	is not a
	  newline, a newline character will be added when written to
	  the job's file.

	  All following	operands are job_identifiers which specify the
	  jobs to receive the message string.  The qmsg	command
	  accepts one or more job_identifier operands of the form:
	      sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

     STANDARD ERROR
	  The qmsg command will	write a	diagnostic message to standard
	  error	for each error occurrence.

     EXIT STATUS
	  Upon successful processing of	all the	operands presented to
	  the qmsg command, the	exit status will be a value of zero.

	  If the qmsg command fails to process any operand, the
	  command exits	with a value greater than zero.
