The system comes with an API called setitimer() that will send you a 
signal on a given interval.  For example, you could tell it to send you 
a signal every 15 minutes.

You could write a program (albeit, not in CL) that would start this 
interval timer and handle the signals.  This would cause a procedure 
(RPG subprocedure, COBOL procedure, C function) that's called every 15 
minutes.  That procedure could then run whatever task is desired.

IMHO, this would be easier than re-calculating the RSMTIME to account 
for how long some command ran.
