Re: Logging when child-server jobs start and end

There are many ways to accomplish your task. One, and a favorite of mine, is
to use message watches. Watches are introduced in a series of articles I
wrote a few years back at

There are API's to get that info also.

Dear Rob, Jack, et al.:

It is indeed a separate job, and it is indeed logged in QHST. And WOW,
we even get the circumstances under which it ended.

But it seems that the customer wants us to take that information, and
make it available within Wintouch itself. Is there a way we can have a
program monitor QHST for new entries fitting the desired pattern? If we
could do that, we could define an Extended Profile (basically, a file of
records containing a 17-digit record-ID, creation and modification
stamps, and up to 1000 bytes of user-defined fields, optionally
including a parent record in another file), tied to the user contact
record, that would capture the particulars.

But can QHST be easily monitored for activity?
