How to Kill a job without shutting down 24x7?

Greetings,

If a job is stuck in the queue or mus otherwise be terminated, how do you do it withoug shutting down either the master scheduler or the agent? This is getting to be pretty annoying for us here. We are running Version 3.4.8 in a master/slave configuration.

Is there a fix to this problem? If a job is stuck in the queue, the only way to clear the queue is to restart the scheduler. This is not a normal way to do things. Is there a way to kill an existing spawned process wihtout doing a shutdown?

If it is program type job, kill the system process (using Task Manager or other tool). If it is a database SQL job, kill the database session (on the database level) or run the job detached (see next for details). If it is a script type job run it detached then you can kill it on the system level as a process.

By the way, version 3.4.8 is pretty old. Consider upgrading to a more recent version, the upgrade is free.
