If any Nobix JobPak users on the list are in a generous mood, I could
use an uninvolved party to bounce some ideas back and forth with, and
figure out various ways to an end, plus to kibitz with on the pros and
cons, off list.

We and our data center need to work out how their Production Services
(PS), using JobPak, can best monitor two jobs that a remote office
submits, after the remote office connects via ftp, by using the "quote
SITE STREAM" command. The time of these jobs vary within a range of a
few hours. The goal is to have a schedule for the nightly backup, which
depends on successful completion of these two ftp jobs. Furthermore, we
want PS to confirm that the jobs have started by a certain time, and
have finished by a certain time. They want this to be as effortless as
possible for them.
