Leif, What I am doing (forgot who suggested it) is to create a data area. If there is a '1' in the data area, it is running, if there is a '0', it isn't running. -----Original Message----- From: Leif Svalgaard [mailto:leif@attglobal.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 11:53 AM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: Monitor for existing job.

And how would you prevent another one with the same simple name but using completely different resources to run or maybe it would be ok to run this as there is no conflict. I guess I may be taking too broad a view of what a job is. Maybe people running a production system manage things by naming convention: they would never dream about submitting jobs with the same name doing different things... _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
