There are many utilities out there, and the way you are doing it seems
to be the most common way to do it. Others have pointed out some
products that do it. We have been using the MONJOBMSGW utility here for
years.

made was like you to exclude jobs whose user is QSPLJOB.

Subject: Monitoring for MSGW
Hi,
I've been tasked with finding a way to notify relevant people the moment
when *any* job goes into the MSGW status. The notification has to tell
those people which job is in the MSGW status, when it entered that
status and what the MSGID is (I also don't want to spam them with
notifications!).
I am not interested in notifying anyone about jobs in the QSPL
subsystem, but apart from that I want notification for any batch or
interactive job on the local machine requiring a user's response to a
message.
I've put together a small routine that loops forever using the QUSLJOB
API which works (thanks to Eric Pell), but I'd prefer a different
approach because continuously reading the job list over and over just
seems like an awkward way to do what I want. Is there a way to have a
program called (or dtaq/file added to) when any job in the system goes
into the MSGW status?
Trigger, or exit point, etc?
Any tips, ideas, web searches I may have missed?
-Paul.
