msg

The msg command is used to pass a message to the status command. When msg is called, it will cause a message supplied by the user to be displayed when using the status command. Users can issue this command at various points in their executable to track the progress of their job. For instance, a message could be sent describing what record is being processed (``Record 1000 is now being processed''). The format of the command is:

  fbs msg <user-message>
