a couple of thoughts....  given jay's original description that this only
involves jobs, if he takes the route of implementing a logon udc it will be
important to test for hpjobtype (only want 'j').  more importantly though, if
this is implemented as a system-level udc, special consideration will have to be
taken for 'nonstandard' jobs.  you don't want, say a third-party software
install job to blow off (or even worse) or abort because of the added
functionality.

i'm sure jay has already realized this (bright guy that he is :-)...but
sometimes it doesn't hurt to state the obvious.          - d
