Just be careful shortening times. I previously worked in an Island Pacific
environment which HEAVILY uses PF and LF members. Our system admin decided
60 seconds was too long of a wait time so he changed everything to a couple
seconds. With the amount of activity on some files, the system could not get
the lock it needed to add or remove a member in that short period of time
and jobs blew up all over the place. That was quite a while ago and systems
are much faster and probably handle adding and removing members more
efficiently but thought it was worth pointing out.

Subject: adjust wait time to acquire an object

Is there a way to specify the amount of time a program waits for a resource
?
For example, is there a way to tell the OS that I only want to wait 15
seconds to read and lock a data area ?
