Since WLM inits came around (even before we used them), we defined one
class as WLM controlled. We also still do this on some small monoplex systems
that use JES2 inits. Anyway, even when batch is stopped due to $PXEQ,
all you have to do is a $SJOB ("J" next to the job from the SDSF input
queue display) to force the job to run. So we have complete control
over what runs during the maintenance window.
