RE: Monitor JobQs and OutQs

I did something like this.  

Mine looks at jobs in all active job queues (held queues are ignored),
CPU % busy, and concurrent interactive users.  It uses CL to gen the
splfs and parse them and a little QSH to gen the stats and net.data to
display them in a window.  The stats refresh automatically as does the
web page window.  The web page's title contains the info as well so even
if I can't see the window the current stats are in my task bar.

Really, it's not hard at all, is free, and uses a trivial amount of
resources.  Send me an email off-list and I can send you my (ugly)
source code.

Scott,

Do you need to spend any money on this? 

Just grow your own at home using the output from WRKOUTQ OUTQ(*ALL)
OUTPUT(*PRINT) and WRKJOBQ JOBQ(*ALL) OUTPUT(*PRINT).

You could probably do them both in an afternoon

cheers

We would like to monitor the number of jobs in JobQs and spools in
OutQs.
For 
JobQs we want to know if the number of jobs in a certain JobQ goes over
a 
specified number of jobs waiting to run. For OutQs it is a matter of if
the 
number of spools just keeps going up and does not go down.  I took a
quick
look 
at the Monitors in OpsNav, but did not see anything that would give me
what
I 
was hoping for.

So, does anybody have suggestions on vendors, software, and/or
utilities.
The 
cheaper the better.

Thanks,
    Scott J
