Or maybe arrange for all jobs to be placed in the queue in a "paused" 
state, and have your monitor release the jobs?

Either way, for the OP, the general solution to this kind of question is 
to find the best solution in *any* language.  Most often, you will find 
sample code in either VB or C++ - often from MS - but it can generally 
be ported to Python fairly easily once you understand exactly what you 
are trying to do.
