Even though the web page sent by Sean

has piqued my interest, I am leaning more towards the data area scenario

Of course the OP doesn't say whether the jobs must complete successfully,or just be finished running. The add 1 subtract 1 method does not work if
you are just waiting for all the jobs to be gone. Say something ends
abnormally, the data area will never get back to zero.
The two easiest options are the plus one/minus one data area (for when the
jobs must end successfully) and the lock on the data area for when you only
care when the jobs end. Alan didn't happen to mention what to do when one
of the 17 jobs fails, so I'm still not 100% certain what he wants to do.
A combination of the two is actually pretty slick. You wait until all the
jobs finish via the exclusive lock, and then check the data area.
If it's zero, all jobs finished successfully. If not, then at least one
job failed (in fact, the number in the data area tells you how many failed).
Simple!
