Where does the "pause" job get it's input from ? If it's from a SHOWJOB
command then add a  ;EXEC to it so only executing jobs are reported.

Subject: [HP3000-L] pausing for a job


Our daily processing shuts down various jobs before the backup, and then
aborts those that do not shut down. I had noticed that some jobs took
longer to shut down than this process allowed, so I added times pauses
for these jobs to shutdown. Later, I noticed that one pause always gave
an error that the time for pause had been exceeded. Then I noticed that
this job was being rescheduled to start before the backup. So of course,
it existed, and pause waited on it. Is there a simple way around this,
to pause for the executing job while it is shut down, but not for the
scheduled job?
