RE: Need Ideas for Batch Job Submission

["Wilt, Charles" <WiltC@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,

I'm following you now.  (You went where I thought, but I wanted to make sure.) 

Seems like some added complexity to me.  How does the program handle the interval expiring with the
prior job not done.  I.E for whatever reason, the last call didn't complete in 15min?

Might be a bit overkill for the average programmer.

The RSETIME is easy, you're just adding 15min to the last.  You don't have to take into account how
long the work took.  Except for checking to make sure your new RSETIME is not in the past (ie the last
time took longer than 15min)
