Hi Chris,

I like it! Our problem, though, is that the same users that run long jobs
also sometimes switch off their workstations, so we've got a situation
where *sometimes* we want their jobs to time out and *sometimes* we don't
(and how the heck is the AS/400 supposed to know the difference?).

Just another reason why humans continue to be necessary. . . . . ;-)
