Sending Final Warning Messages 

Check to see whether any users are still logged on to the system by
entering:

     :SHOWJOB JOB=@S 

If there are any remaining sessions, besides your own, send them one last
warning:

     :WARN @S; LOG OFF NOW! BACKUP ABOUT TO BEGIN 


NOTE  For an online backup, issue this warning to all users who are still
      logged on.  You may want to add that they can log back on once the
      backup has started.  As noted above, the amount of time they need
      to remain logged off depends on the amount of data being stored.

      For a 7x24 true-online backup, you can send a warning message to
      all users.  However, you do not need to tell them to log off.  It
      may be a good idea to warn users of an impending 7x24 true-online
      backup, since they may see some decrease in system response time,
      due to system resources being used for the backup.
