Background job to monitor outq?

[Mike Berman <mikeba777@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have a problem w/ a remote outq. What happens is that 
Periodically, usually after a large spool file, it hangs there. The spool file 
stays in *SND status, and thus doesn't let the next spools print. I would like 
to write a program that would check the status of the first spool file, if it 
has been in SND status for more than 30 minutes, put it on hold. Of course, the 
only problem w/ my brilliant idea, is if the paper is out, but I would rather 
deal w/ that than having to go into this outq 30 times a day and getting calls 
while having my haircut for example.

Can this be done ?
