I don't think that anyone has yet mentioned in this thread that there
are similar limits you can configure in System-i Navigator (Look in
Management Cetnral, then for the Monitors section)
These came out in V4R5.
One drawback to them is that since it is client-based software, you have
to have be logged in, and I don't believe it feeds a message queue.
However, on the plus side, it does show out-of-compilance in red and
will interupt your PC work when it senses something beyond the limits
you set.
