I created a REXX EXEC that checks pre-defined ranges
(Critical-Warning-Informational) of the Page|Spool utilization
percentage.  For Critical & Warning emails are sent.  I run this check
every 15 minutes but I'm afraid with a runaway process, email recipients
and Operators won't see the message in time.  So maybe it's time to look
at an automation package.  I have already received two ideas for
packages.  

Thank you,

Scott

I used to work with a guy who put together code that does what you're 
talking about using VMSCHED with WAKEUP.  It monitored spool 
utilization, including rate of change of spool utilization.  I think at 
each snapshot interval, and I don't remember what interval the code 
used, it did a "SPOOLCHN ALL (HIGH 10", saving the output for the next 
interval so that if there was a sudden increase in spool utilization, it

could, probably, pinpoint the user accumulating the increase.  I don't 
have the code anymore, but it would be a SMOP (simple matter of 
programming) to put it together.
