Writing a script to work sequentially with bsub

Hi,
I am REALLY a newbie of Unix: hope this question is not too odd.
Here is my problem:
I have to submit jobs to a remote platform (an IBM BCX/5120).
To submit I have to
bsub < filename.jcf
and the .jcf file has usually the following content:

#!/bin/bash

#BSUB <commands of the bsub>
/usr/local/stata/stata -b //stata is StataMP for statistical analysis

Unfortunately, each job cannot last more than 6 hours (usually each last around 4 hours), and I would love to make them start sequentially:
any idea about how could I do it?

If you can help me, you'll save my sleep: I won't wake up every 6 hours in order to make the jobs work.
Moreover, since the weekend is approaching and my girlfriend would get pretty angry if I don't dedicate her enough time during the following 3 days, you'll probably save even my relationship!

Thank you very much,
f
