RE: Terminating an idle batch job

["Reeve" <news@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It depends how the programs are "waiting".  I have various long-running
monitor programs ("tasks"); after one wakes up, I use the SHUTDN opcode to
check to see if the job/subsystem/system is terminating.  

There is a reason to have a QINACTIV for interactive programs: security.
The concept of a batch program is that it does work and ends.  But life
doesn't imitate art!
