stop active job

[Guest_imported]

How do you stop a job that is active? a 2 hour job has been running for 60 hours. Don't want to delete, it is part of a rotation. Happened on 2 servers same date

If it's NT 4 you can try the End Task in Task Manager. End the task called ASRUNJOB.EXE. Sometimes it will say Access is denied but you can right click on the job and choose Debug. This crashes the program and ends the job. This is very risky so don't blame me if your server falls over!! Saying that it works on mine.

Hi,
I just had this problem myself. I used a DOS box using the command

tlist

to find out what the process ID is of the ASRUNJOB.EXE thread.

Then I used

kill <pid> -9

to stop the job.

Worked for me alright.

I belive Arc Serve recomend's trying to stop the service by stopping the services in control panel. If not you can do it thru the DOS prompt. I've never used the method EMERALD recomends but it sounds good to me.
Their Tech Support had me use the KILL command in DOS to stop the job.
I see this problem quite often and it seem's to be related to not cleaning up the data bases using DB manager in the ARC Serve dir. That, and Exchanage....????
Good Luck!!
