I use two scripts p1 is the croned one and submits the second.  The second
p2 check to see if TSM is running.  The reason for two is we were having
trouble with *SM hanging.  Thus the first one checks to see if the second
has finished in a reasonable time.  If not, the server is hung.  The second
tries a query session and reports if an error is returned.   These just send
email and thus can page to an email pager if there is a problem.  We run it
every 15 min from cron.

hope that helps
