/MAX_TIME=time_specifier /NOMAX_TIME (D)

Instructs the manager to notify you by mail and terminal broadcast message if the job does not complete within a specified time interval from the start of the job. At the DCL prompt, express the time interval in the OpenVMS delta-time format (dddd-hh:mm:ss.cc); in all other interfaces (including the shell), use Job Management Manager delta time (+dddd hh:mm:ss.cc).

For example, /MAX_TIME=3-3:10 means notify me by mail and terminal broadcast message if the job does not complete within 3 days, 3 hours, and 10 minutes from the start time.
