HLOMAINT utility enhancement request

Today, HLOMAINT utility is not designed to find out what utilities are stuck or dead.  To clean up those loader utilities, we run a SELECT * against HLOTB.HLOUSTAT table, review each utility, and run the HLOMAINT job to terminate the utilities one by one.   It would be nice to run a loader utility to display what is out there and the status of those utilities.

    It would be a great benefit to the people who support these utilities in the data sharing environments - very complex and time-consuming work.  Thanks - vote for it...
