I have created a job based upon the sample "FTP Download" that just downloads a large file (2Gb) to a local drive.

The only process showing on my task manager is the 24x7 job, so the only thing that I can terminate is the whole scheduler just to stop one job.

How do I stop a job like the FTP Download without terminating the scheduler?

Below is the actual script for the job:
Dim process_id, number
Dim found, boolean

// blast/db/nt.Z - does not work
// blast/db/mito.nt.Z - small file that works
// blast/db/htg.Z - large file (2Gb) that appears to work

// Watch for file on remote FTP site.
FTPFileExists( "ftp.ncbi.nih.gov", "", "", "blast/db/htg.Z", found )

// If the file found,
// continue processing, otherwise exit and wait for the next cycle
if (found, DOWNLOAD, END )

DOWNLOAD:
// Download the file from Microsoft FTP site
FTPGetFile( "ftp.ncbi.nih.gov", "", "", "blast/db/htg.Z", "b:\\Data\downloads\htg.Z" )
// Do something with the downloaded file, for example you can display
// it in the Notepad
//Run( "notepad c:\\temp\disclaimer.txt", "", process_id )

// Delete the file - in a real-world you most likely will do this
// FTPDeleteFile( "ftp.microsoft.com", "", "", "disclaimer.txt" )

END:
// Done

Set the job to run "detached" you you can terminate the job process without killing the entire scheduler. To terminate a process use Task Manager or create a job in 24x7 which will use the ProcessKill command for the same purpose.

So, I set the job to be asychronious and detached. The only process doing I/O in my task manager is the 24x7 task, and I can not find any task name that would I can identify as my FTP task or a sub task to the 24x7 task.

So I am still do not know how to identify this process to stop it. If I stop the 24x7 process the FTP stops - sure does not appear to be very detached...

Thanks

That's right, for detached script jobs the task name is 24x7. You should see several 24x7.EXE processes in the task list (the main one and one additional for every detached job). The application name titles are different in the application list.

If you want to create "custom" application titles, create a batch file with the desired name and in the batch use "24x7 /JOB [job id]" to run the desired job in 24x7, Of cource this batch file can be scheduled as any other program.
