A bit old-school, but remote dataqueues work quite well for notification
and the WAIT logic is already built in.

Subject: Accessing another system's TELNET port from a batch job?
Short of writing my own headless TELNET client, is there a way for a
batch job on one system to access the TELNET port on another system (it
can be as simple as just a sign-on), in order to notify the other system
of an event?
Or some other simple event notification, calling a program remotely?
I can do this with the FTP port, of course, but the FTP port on the
target system is normally kept closed when not in use. And likewise, I
could do it by opening a socket on a proprietary server, but I'd have to
write one of those.
The target machine does *not* have "Host Servers" running on it.
