Chuck,

Simply creating the message queue QSYSMSG automatically gets some messages 
that normally appear in QSYSOPR also to appear in QSYSMSG.  However, by 
WRKSYSVAL QUPSMSGQ you can have messages go to a different message queue. 
People often do.  Then they have a cl program that looks something like:

Wait:
RCVMSG ... /* Wait indefinitely for power failure messages */
  /* Got a message */
  RCVMSG ... /* Wait a few seconds/minutes in case it's just a quick power 
burp */
  MONMSG ... DO  /* Time out waiting for power restored message. */
    /* Bring system down in an orderly fashion */
    ...
    GoTo END
  EndDo
  /* got the power restored message */
  goto wait
end:
