In general, anything you can do in a {pre,post}-{start,stop} script, you can
also do in a separate job with a 'start on {start,stopp}{ed,ing}' rule. And
in a case such as this where you are running the main job under some sort of
access controls, this is what you need to do.
Something like the following should work:
start on starting main_job
script
if $condition; then
stop main_job
fi
end script
Hope that helps,
