The best way is to make the job actually succeed...  So, if you have a 
job that calls a script "typo.pl", set up a script called typo.pl that 
just exits with no error code (0).  Then, restart the job (easiest way 
is to restart the backend that's supposed to run that job--or all 
backends for good measure, in case you're allowing either/all to run 
jobs), it will succeed and then be cleared out properly/completely by 
the backend.
