85.0. "START and ERASE jobs " by TRN01::FORMIA () Thu May 06 1993 22:45

    
    Hi!,
    one ELN question to address our KAV30 application develop:
    
    We use a supervisor Job from which we want to start and delete
    other Jobs;
    on create no problem but on delete.....
    is it possible to get a direct way to delete a job from outside without
    configuring a Demon process for each Job syncronized
    on shared area which get erase command to delete itself job environment?
    
    THANKS A LOT for any help or better solution.

    Hi Marino,
    
    This is not really a KAV30 specific question, you may get a better
    response asking your question in the HELIX::VAXELN conference.  
    
    Basically though, the answer to your question is no.  There's no direct
    way to delete another job under VAXELN.  Jobs consist of process
    objects which can be deleted (deleting processes should only be used in
    emergency situations).  Under VAXELN process ids are only unique within
    jobs. 
    
    From a KAV30 perspective you may be able to utilise ASTs to indicate
    that a job is to execute a run-down procedure.
