I have a job which is using the sleep function to wait for a certain
amount of time, however I would like to wake this job up from another
job. I already tried using the kill function with SIGALRM but it
terminates the complete job.

How about using a data queue as the signalling mechanism and using a timeout on the QRCVDTAQ api?

That way you can have the job sleep and wake it up by sending an entry to the data queue it's monitoring.
