Stop-SCJob

  • Reference
Module:
VirtualMachineManager

Stops running VMM jobs.

Syntax

Stop-SCJob
    [-Job] <Task>
    [-OnBehalfOfUser <String>]
    [-OnBehalfOfUserRole <UserRole>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Stop-SCJob cmdlet stops one or more Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) jobs that are running, and returns the object for each job in a stopped state. If the VMM job is not currently running, this cmdlet has no effect.

Examples

Example 1: Stop all currently running jobs

PS C:\> $Job = Get-SCJob | where { $_.Status -eq "Running" }
PS C:\> $Job | Stop-SCJob

The first command gets all VMM job objects, passes each job object to the "where" filter to select only the jobs that are currently running, and stores the objects in the $Job object array.

The second command passes each object in $Job to the Stop-SCJob cmdlet, which stops each running job.

Example 2: Stop a specific running job asynchronously

PS C:\> $Job = Get-SCJob | where { $_.ResultName -eq "VM01" -and $_.ID -eq "cb3a0f0a-9fbc-4bd0-a999-3fae8cd77177" }
PS C:\> Stop-SCJob -Job $Job

The first command gets all VMM job objects and, from the results, selects only the job on VM01 identified by job ID cb3a0f0a-9fbc-4bd0-a999-3fae8cd77177, and then stores thie object in the $Job variable.

The second command stops the job and returns the stopped job object to the user.
