Of course it is not running, that's what the whole story is about. I have a bunch of desktop/laptop clients configured that can be shut down/disconnected/not around at random and are well beyond my control. I want bacula to cease any further attempts to contact them after initial configured FD timeout value expires. It appears that it is still trying to do something after that, something that I don't even understand. And those stuck jobs block the queue so no other scheduled jobs can run. And I cannot even cancel them, they just sit there waiting for this 12-hour dubious timeout to pass before cancel command can take effect. I've read a few threads on this archive concerning this "feature". None of developers ever admitted this is a bug. If it is not then I don't know what is. Very annoying. Just wondering if it is still there in 2.0.0.
