Re: Monitoring for MSGW

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I think the way you're doing it fine.  I don't think the system has a
callback feature when a job reaches MSGW... I could be mistaken, though.

How you're doing it is how my JOBWATCH application works (
www.bvstools.com/jobwatch.html).  It's set up to read the specific
subsystem jobs at the specified interval and  if a match is found it will
call the command(s) and/or program(s) specified for a MSGW.
