Seems like an ideal use of a semaphore plus AT. I think John McGowan
posted on this earlier this year.
Set a semaphore (eg., create an Environment variable with a value of
"ready").
Put your job in the AT queue as a Shell script. First action of the
script would be to set the variable to "running")
At conclusion the shell script sets the variable to "done"
Cron job polls the variable.
OR:
Run the job using AT, passing an MD5 hash to identify it.
At conclusion the the shell script invokes a taf with the MD5 hash as
an argument, thereby signaling Witango that the job is done.
Execute your job usi

You have 2 options:
Assign system$querytimeout - which requires the system password to be
set -
before, and set it back after
Or (my preferred) write your app in a way that it will run for a
while, say
10 seconds, and then call itself again and again to continue
processing.
This will create a system where your server will have a bit of time to
breathe between calls, and won't need to abide by any particular
timeout.
You can also pass the USR and use user variables to manage your
workload.

Subject: Witango-Talk: running processes in witango that take a long
time
hey everyone,
If you know a certain peice of code is going to take a long time to
process, is there a way to change the timeout to a higher value for
that request only so that it doesnt timeout half way and only do half
of the work?
