[mod.computers.vax] Batch queue monitor

jmleonar@CRDC.ARPA.UUCP (05/22/86)

[This is a second posting, as I got a bunch of errors the first time]

Increased system load has led me to consider splitting the batch queue into
a fast and a slow queue.  Before I do this, I want some kind of detached
process that can (a) determine the job queue of a batch job, (b) determine
the amount of CPU time consumed and (c) notify me of jobs that use more
that a preset time limit.  This would enable me to "enforce" the distinction
between the two queues.

If my terminology has not given me away, I'm running VMS 4.3 (with 4.4
expected in the near future).  Please reply to me directly if you have an
idea or two, and I'll summarize if there is a lot of response (or a lot of
different responses).

                                      Thanks in advance,
