Re: Tracking the average time jobs are waiting in the queue

Yes, job accounting is a great way to get this - but how many have it 
running? QHST job start and end messages are sometimes called job 
accounting on the cheap.

And that open list thing could be even better - ah, I see it came out 
with V6R1 - as usual with these things, it would be VERY helpful to 
include the VRM when an API is available when recommending its use. Not 
everyone is at the latest bleeding edge.
