Removing Jobs

[jameswyse]

I had a look through the documentation and code but couldn't find any way to remove jobs?

I created a task and had it running every 10 seconds but decided I want to call it manually, however it keeps running!

I tried Job#remove as mentioned in #26 but that doesn't exist:

agenda.jobs({name: 'Update Instagram'}, function(err, jobs) {
  if(err) throw err;
  jobs.forEach(function(job) {
    job.remove();
  });
});

[TypeError: Object #<Job> has no method 'remove']

You can access the mongoSkin connection using agenda._db and call .remove() from there. It does cause some very weird issues if you continue to run agenda.

A better option to remove it out of your DB is to use the mongo shell. Something along these lines:

$ mongo <db-name>
> db.agendaJobs.remove()

This will remove all the agenda jobs defined though. If you only want to remove one, you can query by their name with .remove({"name" : "nameOfJob"}) in the above query.

You can also use agenda.purge() as well, forgot to mention that.

job.remove now works. Added in b188139. Will be published tomorrow.
