Is it possible to kill a current running Quartz Job?

Question

I remember that we cannot kill the current running Quartz Job but we can interrupt and have a boolean check wherever is necessary whether we need to proceed further with the

I don't know why nobody mentioned this, or maybe this was not available at the time the question was asked.

There is a method called shutdown for a Scheduler instance.

 SchedulerFactory factory = new StdSchedulerFactor();
 Scheduler scheduler = factory.getScheduler();

The above is used to start a job like

  scheduler.start();

Use a flag or something to know when to stop the job from running. Then use

 scheduler.shutdown();

How I implemented my requirement:

 if(flag==true)
{
    scheduler.start();
    scheduler.scheduleJob(jobDetail, simpleTrigger);
}
else if(flag==false)
{
    scheduler.shutdown();
}

Where jobDetail and simpleTrigger are self explanatory.

Hope it helps. :)
