Killing a Runaway Job

JAMS makes it easy to kill a Runaway Job process through the use of a Notification Job.

Simply create a Job, called KillRunaway in this example, using the PowerShell Execution Method with the following Source:

param($JAMS_NOTIFY_JAMS_ENTRY, $JAMS_NOTIFY_REASON)
if ($JAMS_NOTIFY_REASON -eq 'RUNAWAY')
{
    write-host "Killing runaway entry $JAMS_NOTIFY_JAMS_ENTRY"
    Add-PSSnapin MVPSI.JAMS -erroraction SilentlyCOntinue
    Stop-JAMSEntry $JAMS_NOTIFY_JAMS_ENTRY -confirm:$false
}

More information on JAMS_NOTIFY_REASON:: The reason for the notifications. This parameter could be: COMPLETED, FAILED, SHORT, RUNAWAY, STALLED or MISSED_WINDOW.
