Here is an example where I am concerned that the weekly SLTBACK job doesn't complete.  I stream a second job for 6 hours out to check and complain if SLTBACK is still running.

!job sltback,manager.sys,job;outclass=lp,1,1
!
!continue
!stream sltchk.job.sys;in=,6
!
!if jobcnt('sltback,manager.sys') > 1 then
!  continue
!  mail.exe "-t [log in to unmask] &
!  -f [log in to unmask] &
!  -h !my_mailhost &
!  -s '!osnode sltback already running!!' &
!  sltback job already running !hpdatef at !hptimef"
!  eoj
!endif
!
!loadtap7
!pause 60
!
!run autorep.exe;parm=7
!file sysgtape;dev=7
!showdev 7
!
!sysgen
tape verbose store=^sltbk1
exit
!
!tellop ---- job sltback is done
!tell manager.sys ---- job sltback is done
!stream sltback.job;day=SUNDAY;at=02:30
!eoj

SLTBK1 contains....
@[log in to unmask]@      <-- or whatever filesets you desire
;show;onvs=mpexl_system_volume_set,client_vs;progress;maxtapebuf;compress=high;online=start;partialdb;directory;statistics


!JOB SLTCHK,manager.sys;OUTCLASS=LP,1
!# *-----------------------------------------------*
!# * THIS JOB WILL VERIFY THAT SLTBACK HAS         *
!# * COMPLETED SUCCESSFULY. THIS JOB SHOULD BE     *
!# * STREAMED TO RUN 6 HOURS AFTER THE SLTBACK     *
!# * JOB HAS STARTED.                              *

!SETVAR CIERROR  0
!RUN MAIN.PUB.VESOFT;PARM=1;INFO= &
