If you have z/OS 1.5 and above just update DIAGxx with VSM CHECKREGIONLOSS(below_value,above_value) and it will recycle the inits when needed (JES2 or WLM inits both work). I run with VSM CHECKREGIONLOSS(200K,10M). - I have 300K for below in some environments. YMMV. BTW, before this "every night" was never good enough for us. In addition to scheduling init recycles on a timed basis several times a day we also trapped on abends and always recycled the init after any abend.
