Block on JOBCL

Hi all, I have a application that is causing a problem. After a new release of the application it is having problems cleaning up after it is supposed to exit from an PC based telnet app. Upon the app attempting to exit, it will occasionally leave a process on the server that is difficult to detect. In GlancePlus, it will show as a CPU resource hog with a Block On of JOBCL. Killing the process takes care of it.

I would like to find a way via script/cron to check for this. I was unable to see anything in the 'ps' realm of commands except
ps -fle | grep '401 T'. I could then kill that process in the script.

Does anyone have a better idea (aside from getting the vendor to fix the originating problem)? I am unable to find any command line tool that indicates the BlockOn JOBCL except via either glance or the ps -fle and looking for the 'T' in the second column.

Thanks in advance,
Doug
