We use MPF message exits. We have a small operations staff and they don't watch the MVS console so we needed a way to notify them if something was happening. We setup a simple MPF exit program to start a batch job and pass the message to it. The batch program then decides what to do with the messages. We mainly use it to email notifications to operations and our system group. This solution is very bare bones, but it is 'cheap'.

The OP needs some form of automation, not zAware.
