How can I stop a long run pgAgent job?

Hi Shore,

Have a look at:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-admin.html

'pg_terminate_backend' is probably what you are looking for

As said, terminating a backend is the current way to kill a job.

An alternative if this is something you do often:
https://github.com/GoSimpleLLC/jpgAgent
jpgAgent supports terminating a job by issuing a NOTIFY command on the
correct channel like this: NOTIFY jpgagent_kill_job, 'job_id_here';
It works well with windows, and all the existing pgAgent admin tools work
to manage it, it's just a drop in replacement for the agent portion.
