Re: How could a job escape an ENDJOB?

[Mark Murphy <jmarkmurphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you sure it's the same job? Some server jobs will end and start
another. Maybe it's implemented as a pre-start job in which case you can
end the job, but if that takes the number of jobs below the threshold,
another one will start. Maybe there is a monitor job that will start
another server if it detects that one went away.
