Using SoftBench Message Monitor

Composing and Sending a Message

A message resembling the following appears in the SoftBench Message Monitor Broadcast Messages area:

Softmsg.nn 29-25966-tycho R EDIT WINDOW <host> <dir> <oper>

Assuming the appropriate editor successfully edits the file, it sends the following message in response to the request: For SoftBench vi Editor:

softvi.2 29-25966-tycho P EDIT WINDOW <host> <dir> <oper>

For SoftBench XEmacs:

softemacs.3 29-25966-tycho P EDIT WINDOW <host> <dir> <file>

Notice that the above examples contain no real data. The data is in the form:

<executable>.<nn> <msgId> <type> <tool> <command> <host> <dir> <file> <data>

where nn is a unique number assigned by the Broadcast Message Server (BMS) to identify this invocation of this tool.
