How about an icon??  If that will do, here's a program to do what you want. 
But please answer this someone, what's a SCADA master-station??

Cancel! may be run from the CLI or the Workbench.  When you go away, fire it
up and all requesters that may be generated by disk full, printer problems, or
whatever will be Cancel!'ed.  This prevents the system from waiting for user
input that may never come.  If you ever return, you may deactivate Cancel!
Icon for this program was modified from "nofastmem".

Source code, comming soon to a comp.sources.amiga group near you...
