Have you tried doing your ALOCOBJ at the beginning of your nightly 
batch run and then sending a an inquiry message to your (or 
QSYSOPR's) message queue to confirm everything ran ok?  After the 
message is replied to, DLCOBJ the files.

I would advise having a a waittime on your RCVMSG so that, 
if your not available for some reason, the inqiury message will fall 
through and let everyone on again.
