Runaway inhibitors

Field

Description

Startup window

If the job is designated to start at a certain time but for some reason (typically because the system is down) the server is unable to do so before this interval expires, the job is considered extraneous. The job is not run but instead is considered to have failed with SCHEDULE -F-EXESTAWIN. Set this to zero to disable this feature.

Execute window

If a job is in execution longer then this duration it is assumed that the job is out of control. The job is allowed to continue but on completion the status code is changed to SCHEDULE -F-EXEWINEXC and initiate jobs are not invoked. Set this to zero to disable this feature. Set the CPU time limit to prevent the job from running forever.
