John, I wrote a few tools like this at a previous job where we basically had no operations support. One would select output files from nightly backups using IGGCSIFX and produce an RSS feed of all the backup jobs including their completion status and links to the output from each one (does anybody really use RSS anymore?). I had another one that would use SDSF REXX to check output status of selected jobs and send an HTTP email with info and links to the output datasets.
