No system job will do that, but you have several alternatives. Easiest -
make your job a prestart job that always has exactly one copy running. A
little harder - Have a jobscde that submits your job every so often.
Check for a lock on an object. If it can't get it, exit. If it can.
Allocate the object exclusively and keep running. Hardest - Create
another job that checks for your job, and if it doesn't find it running,
submit it.

Subject: Check if a particular job is always active
I need to be sure that a particular batch job is always active; is there
any system service that can I use to check that ?
This is my scenario : at ipl start my job IMP_ORD (that import customer
orders) and another job that should check every five minutes if the
IMP_ORD is active. This morning for some Ipl problem (that I have to
understand) this jobs are not started and so I have had problem with
orders import. So I would find a system job (that I'm sure that run
always ) that I could you as monitor for my IMP_ORD job.. I hope I
shall be clear
Thanks in advance
