[mythtv-users] How to Cancel a running Job

What is a safe or preferred way to cancel a running Job ?

A mythcommflag job has been running for several hours
and I would like to cancel it without doing any damage to
the other jobs, the database, etc.

I tried the sequence: Information Center->SystemStatus->
Job Queue and then selected the running job and pressed ENTER.
A menu popped up with Pause, Stop, No Change for choices.

One at a time I selected each one, backed out and came back in
to the Job Queue.  Each time, the Job remained "Running".

mythcommflag has been performing very well on lots of shows
prior to this odd case.  I'm running a CVS version of mythtv
downloaded just a few days before 0.18 was released.

Just deleting the show is an acceptable way to solve this,
but if there's a less severe way to go, I'd prefer the less severe way.

Thanks.
