Could still be done without a "real" permanent (disk-resident) data structure, via something like a "spool" file that contains the job queue definitions, which is rebuilt/modified when a job queue definition changes/is added/is deleted ... the file would normally be blown away at bootup, unless a START RECOVERY is done. OTOH, maybe we should just have a perm data structure, complete with maint. tools? -- Stan Sieler [log in to unmask] http://www.allegro.com/sieler.html
