OK but with job status I can do

(CurrentTime - EnteredCurrentStatus) > $TIME_CAP

Just knowing it's transferring input is not enough to decide if the
transfer is hanging or not. I suppose I could do

(TransferringInput && ! TransferQueued) && ((RemoteWallClockTime -
CumulativeSuspensionTime) > $TIME_CAP)

I don't like it because it does not explicitly track transfer time, it
*assumes* that my total runtime spent waiting for transfer, but I
suppose it's not an unreasonable assumption when we're transferring
input files.
