</div> In general, you can set a "maintenance window" for your jobs so that<br>
they won't be running at other times. I have started to do that and I have<br>
my desktop machine running a slave backend for commflagging.<br>
<br>
I was running into a similar problem. I wasn't nice about it and ended<br>
up having stuff to clean up afterwards. Then I ran into the jobstart/jobstop<br>
settings and that worked a lot better/cleaner.<br>
