Job queues have been a huge help here, with NO problems.  No reboot required,
but you need to re-set them after a reboot.  Just put all the commands into a
job, and have sysstart stream it.  Whenever you  add a queue or change a
limit, change the job, then stream it manually.  Just out of routine paranoia,
we stream ours daily in case 'someone' fiddles with a limit and forgets to
change it back.

Ours is:
!JOB STARTJQ,MANAGER/_____.SYS;OUTCLASS=,1;HIPRI
!ALLOW MANAGER.SYS;COMMANDS=LIMIT
!LIMIT
!CONTINUE
!LIMIT  1; JOBQ=HPSYSJQ
!LIMIT 15
!CONTINUE
!NEWJOBQ     SLEEPER;    LIMIT=10
!CONTINUE
!NEWJOBQ     QUICKIE;    LIMIT=1
!CONTINUE
!NEWJOBQ     USER;       LIMIT=1
!CONTINUE
!NEWJOBQ     EMAIL;      LIMIT=1
!CONTINUE
!LIMIT  10;  JOBQ    =   SLEEPER
!CONTINUE
!LIMIT   1;  JOBQ    =   QUICKIE
!CONTINUE
!LIMIT   1;  JOBQ    =   USER
!CONTINUE
!LIMIT   1;  JOBQ    =   EMAIL
!TELLOP JOB QUEUES ARE SET UP
