O_o Mind explaining your reasoning?

I want to see the natural PGM-xxxxxxxx function. Also, I happen to
think that DEQW looks "nicer" than DLYW for the status.

And the DLY function information that is displayed isn't going to be
helpful because my "never ending" jobs only delay for 15 seconds at a
time, then check for a controlled shutdown request.

How often they do any actual processing depends on the specific job.
Some count a particular number of 15-second delays. Others look for
specific clock items. For example, a job may do processing every ten
minutes on the ten minutes.
