I've got a script that checks and cancels hanging (CPU 80%+) jobs, and checks
whether the job is a duplicate of a running/waiting one.
I'll attach the script - you can then modify it to check and cancel your
expired jobs :)
BTW, the "run before job" script is executed when the job is executed (even
when it then starts waiting for smth) - eg. the script won't run in case of
BackupCatalog job, because it won't be executed until all other jobs are
finished (as it has higher "priority"), so you have to be sure that jobs are
not THAT blocked.
