The fastest way to kill a job is to turn off the power to the server
The only officially sanctioned ways to stop a job are:
a) use the "stop" button in the director or from a DS/Basic call to a job you have started.
b) if (a) fails after a given period of time use the "cleanup resources" menu tab in the director to locate the process and terminate it.

(a) in Arnd's post includes the -stop option of the dsjob command. Note, however, that jobs - particularly parallel jobs - can take literally minutes to respond to such a request; give them that grace time before attempting anything more. Be patient. Like a run request a stop request is asynchronous; it sends a signal to the job which responds to the signal when it can.

Let's say that I have opened a Job and I have closed it, even after closing it sometimes i see that the Job is shown as still open with my ID. I which case I know we can give logout through director or Kill in UNIX, any other ideas to get this done are well appreciated.srinivenigalla wrote:Where you want to kill a job is important.
