Job Filter to display update_time

So let's say a user is running a job that goes on for a couple of days. The CPU is active say every other 30 minutes, but idle most of the time. The CPU is active for 5 minutes but idle for 30 minutes.
I would like to know the time stamp as when was the last CPU activity.

That data point is update_time which exists.

The idea is not to kill a job if by convention means is deemed idle. In other words the CPU Time vs. Wall Clock time.

    Attachment (Use case): script that generates data on jobs that were last idling. The job goes in and out of idle states periodically.

    The information can be viewed. I would like to view only those jobs that are idling beyond a certain time limit out of several thousand jobs. And take appropriate action whether to terminate them or not.

    Attached is a script that drives the point home and can be easily converted into an alert.

    In RTM today you can view how a job is consuming cpu over time - so you can see if a job is accumulating wall clock time but not cpu time etc (likewise, there is a feature in LSF (JOB_IDLE) which will invoke a script beyond a certain walltime/cputime ratio.

    Can you clarify why the existing functionality is insufficient?
