Jobs that were on hold are running

Issue/Introduction

Jobs are running eventhough they were put on hold

Resolution

The user took an incorrect sequence of actions.

• While the job was running someone toggled the status to TERMINATED rather than killing the actual job.  
• The job was then put ON HOLD.
• The job then completed on the agent, toggling the status to the SUCCESS.

This allowed the job to then run when the next future STARTJOB event was processed

Based on the actions the user took and events that occurred in the order they did the product acted correctly.

The proper actions should be

• sendevent -E KILLJOB -J <jobname>
• Make sure the job is really not running anywhere else.
• sendevent -E JOB_ON_HOLD -J <jobname>
