Hi Ken

I was always told that it kept processes running collecting statistics, 
even when you F3 out of it, until you logged off or ended the command 
with SysRq 2. Don't know how much truth was in that, but it does appear 
to keep track of how long it's been since starting the command for the 
first time in a session. I prefer WRKUSRJOB anyway[1]
