Very nice!   I tend to prefer OS solutions, if available,  to third party
solutions.   But, not being a UNIX/POSIX guy, I don't know exactly how your
script works.   Specifically the awk syntax.   With a little bit of effort,
this can also be done with an MPE script.


Thanks,

                While MPEX is certainly a fine product, here's a POSIX
solution that anybody
                with just FOS can use:

                callci "showjob [log in to unmask];exec" |\
                  awk "/^#/ && ! /^#${HPJOBTYPE}${HPJOBNUM} / { print \$1 }"
|\
                  while read jobnum; do callci "abortjob $jobnum"; done

                We call :SHOWJOB to display all executing jobs in the same
account, then pipe
                the output into awk which matches all lines starting with #
but not our own job
                number.  Awk prints the matching job numbers and then pipes
that into the while
                statement which calls :ABORTJOB on each jobnum printed by
awk.
