Why not just use a single thread job queue?

Subject: Re: CL command to check whether an active job of a given name exists?

Actually, since this was a matter of keeping two of the same batch job
from being active at the same time, and fighting with each other, I
ended up just creating a "baton" data area, and having the CL program
attempt to allocate an exclusive lock on it. A strategy I've used before.

Seems like there ought to be something built into the OS, to keep two of
the same job from getting into a fight.
