Well I've restarted the director to get a critical job running, but as soon as 
that job finishes I'll run a few more and show you what happens.  Essentially 
they show up as:


Running Jobs:
Console connected at 20-Jan-10 13:27
JobId Level   Name                       Status
======================================================================
   42         BackupServer1.2010-01-20_10.30.00_01 is waiting for execution
   43         BackupServer2.2010-01-20_10.30.00_01 is waiting for execution
   44         RestoreFiles.2010-01-20_12.20.31_03 is waiting for execution

That's a simulation of previous results.

When I cancel the jobs and they sit there and then I restart the director, I do 
NOT see the cancelled jobs show up in the "Terminated Job" list.
