No. But, I just found out that another admin was not patient with a netbackup 
stop and so used kill -9 on the bpsched processes.
The processes were then like a zombie and would not respond to any attempts to 
suspend/cancel/slap in the face.

Think maybe I could just go into a directory and wack some files next time I 
see this?
Or should I wack the other admin :-) jk

Bob
Can you not SUSPEND the jobs, to allow you to perform this action and then
restart?

I stop/started the netbackup services.
That isn't an easy thing to do since I have backups running 7x24 I was
hoping to discover a way without doing the proverbial bounce.

I have this all the time on my busy system.  It'll often clean up when the
entire running job queue is empty & then the scheduler seems to cleanup
these strays.

If it doesn't cleanup then, I get rid of them by bouncing my master server
processes.

Usually getting an idle period is enough to clean these up.

I tried to cancel a queued job via the java GUI and could not. So, I went to
the command line but I still could not kill it. Any other suggestions?
