Displaying the system log is handy because you can scroll back and forth and
search for text strings. There are several panels to display jobs and output,
which can show you the backlog of work for initiators, printers, and transmitters.
There are also panels for JES2 devices such as printers, punches, readers, lines,
nodes, members, spool offload devices, and other JES2 resources.
