Inventory Month End & Other Batch Jobs

It would be appreciated if anyone could offer any assistance with the
following query.
When running Inventory Month End from the SCM/Inventory Menu it appears
that a batch job is created, which can take up to several days to
complete. 
In regards to this job and other similar such 'batch jobs, is there a
facility/process available to:
(a)     track the existence of such batch jobs, when they are active,
when they start and complete etc etc ?
(b)     determine their User/Process ID ?
(c)     control the amount and priority of assigned system resource, in
order to speed up the completion ?

Thanks

BFN
