HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

kill

Stops a job that is running. In UNIX, this is accomplished with a UNIX kill command. You must have kill access to the job.

Syntax

{kill | k} jobselect
     [;noask]

Arguments

jobselect
See Selecting jobs in commands.
noask
Specifies not to prompt for confirmation before taking action on each qualifying job.

Comments

The kill operation is not performed by conman; it is run by an HCL Workload Automation production process, so there might be a short delay.

Killed jobs end in the ABEND state. Any jobs or job streams that are dependent on a killed job are not released. Killed jobs can be rerun.

Examples

To kill the job report in job stream apwkly(0600 03/05/06) on workstation site3, run the following command: 
kill site3#apwkly(0600 03/05/06).report
To kill job number 124 running on workstation geneva, run the following command:
kill geneva#124
