Easy. Here's one with no reclamation requirements at all:

#!/bin/bash
#
# run a q vol and parse for all volumes with <20% utilized space
# now run
#       move data <volname>

There's no way to limit or control the amount of time used to do the
move from within TSM, however. (You can script it.) That's why we have
reclamation; we can control the circumstance and resources used that
way.
