Heh, I have no need to ask how you know; I have my own reason for 
thinking that I know how. But I love the name of the rule.

I often go so far as to schedule the command to run maybe 3-5 
minutes in the future. I've sometimes set the delay via a job 
scheduler entry and sometimes through a simple SBMJOB -- if I can't 
get back quickly enough to prevent it from running, I save myself 
from having to get back quickly enough.
