add functionality to audit container command

If for some reason some containers in a directory stgdpool pool have become unavailable or readonly, audit container must be run. If there are many containers to run audit on there is no way of queing up the audit processes.
I'd like a wait=yes flag to the audit container command and flags much like the update volume command have i.e. audit container wherestate=unavail,readon wait=yes

    This request has been delivered into a previously released version of the product.

    Check the AUDIT CONTAINER command with the WAIT option:

    at SP 8.1.6 there is a Wait option.
    Also you can audit the entire container pool, entire directories, or individual containers.
    You can prepare audit container commands from SQL queries to select the individual containers you want to audit and then run as a macro.
    Am I missing something?
