The latter - an unauthorised program. I would have thought (hoped) that there is a short sequence of control blocks accessible from an unauthorised program that can be processed to determine whether a known job is running (is know to the system, if not - it has completed). I can certainly use batch TSO IKTEFT01 (STATUS command), but this would seem to be an "overkill". I do not want to use batch SDSF because I want to write solution does not require the presence of SDSF.
