John,
I know BMC Mainview can be configured to alarm when tasks run longer
than a specified wall-clock time interval. It drops a message to SYSLOG
that an automation product can pick up and take action on.
It should also be fairly easy to write a SDSF-in-batch job, with a
follow-on REXX to read the output, and look at the elapsed time
("Tran-Act" column), pick out which job(s) have run longer than you
wanted them to, and issue warnings or cancel commands. You'd only need
to run at whatever checking interval you decided on (every 15 mins
maybe?) for it to be effective at what you're wanting to do. I'm sure
it wouldn't use much CPU, and should run very fast.
My $0.02, anyway.
Best regards,
