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

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

How could the OS know what is a legitimate shared access and "a fight"? => Preventing this is the responsibility of the application programmer. As you've demonstrated by introducing a semaphore. :-)
