Last night, we had some of our servers powered down for some early
morning power maintenance.  I have been looking at the logs for the
backups to analyze failures.  One thing I have noticed is that for the
powered off servers, it took over 3 hours for the job to fail.  Given
that the server is unavailable, and looking at my Timeout settings on
the Master, why would it take 3 hours, rather than 5 minutes?  Is there
a way to expedite the failing of jobs for unreachable hosts?

Thanks,
Jason
