The 5 uses only was just something to test to see if it works.

But you state that it works, do you mean that; something (the OS ?) is
starting additional jobs for you (apart from the initial ones) and based
on what ?

Kind regards,
Paul

Can you post the prestart job entry and job description?

I think your jobs should stay in DEQW rather than PSRW status. PSRW
implies a multithreaded job wait rather than a more traditional job.

We do this all the time and don't have any issues.

Why kill the job after 5 uses? It would seem to be overly expensive to
constantly be creating new prestart jobs.
