You could look at the WRKMSGQ command. Bring up the ID you want to modify such 
as QSYSOPR and try changing the message que to use *NOTIFY or *BREAK.  

Send a message to the changed message que and see if you like the result.

Actually it is the delivery parameter in the CHGMSGQ command.

*Notify sends a visual and audio signal.  I think *Break would actually 
interrupt the job if that person were signed on.

Each user ID has a corresponding message que by default.

User ID      Message Que
Bobby        Bobby

At least it does on our systems.  Good luck.

If you just want to get someones attention one time try SNDMSG and use F4 to 
prompt.  Use CMD10 for additional options and try some like changing Message 
type to *INQ which prompts them for a reply...
