I've got a periodic update job. It's set to start up in the morning from a job schedule entry, then run every 5 minutes (by self-perpetuating up to a specified hour) for a good chunk of the day.

Most of the time, it's waiting for its scheduled launch time (most iterations run to completion in under a minute).

And I've got a program that could potentially get in a fight with the periodic update. Is there a quick and easy way for, say, a CL program to determine whether it's actually running?
