Using Quick View › Job Management › Kill a Job

Kill a Job

You can use the Kill command to send a KILLJOB event to the selected job or box job. The manually-generated KILLJOB event instructs the scheduling manager to kill the specified job if it is RUNNING and change its status to TERMINATED. If the job’s status is not RUNNING, the Kill command has no effect.

Note: If the selected job is a box job, the scheduling manager changes the box job's status to TERMINATED and (if configured to do so) also kills the jobs it contains. The result of this command depends on the type of job selected and the type of server (UNIX or Windows) on which the job is running.

Follow these steps:

1. Find a job.

   One of the following occurs:

   • If only one job is found, detailed information about the job is displayed.
   • If two or more jobs are found, the jobs are listed in the Search Results section.
2. (Optional) Click the name of the job in the Search Results section for which you want to display details.

   Detailed information about the job is displayed.

3. Do one of the following:
   • Select Kill from the drop-down list in the Search Results section and click Go.
   • Click in the Job Flow section, select the appropriate job or box job in the flow, right-click, and select Kill from the pop-up menu.

   A confirmation prompt appears.

4. Click Yes.

   The selected job is terminated.
