How to cehck is job running or not?

How to cehck is job running or not? I have the following code in the Startup.cs class for initializing my job:

var registry = new Registry();
registry.Schedule<SendPushesJob>().ToRunNow().AndEvery(60).Seconds();
JobManager.Initialize(registry);

and the following code in my controller:

public IActionResult StopSender()
{
    JobManager.Stop();
    
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

public IActionResult StartSender()
{
    JobManager.Start();

    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

I would like to show on the view is my job started or not. How I can do this? I can't see the suitable method.

As an option, you can Subscribe to Jobs Event and keep a list of running tasks manually.

JobManager.JobStart

JobManager.JobEnd

JobManager.JobException

So, after some tests I have understood that I can't stop or start particular job. Instead, I can remove or add job via JobManager.Stop() or JobManager.Start().

So here is the code.

Start and stop:

public IActionResult StopSender()
{
    JobManager.RemoveJob("push_distribution");
    
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

public IActionResult StartSender()
{
    JobManager.RemoveJob("push_distribution");

    var registry = new Registry();
    registry.Schedule<SendPushesJob>().WithName("push_distribution").ToRunNow().AndEvery(60).Seconds();

    JobManager.Initialize(registry);

    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

Show if the job is running:

<span>
    @if (JobManager.AllSchedules.Any(x => x.Name == "push_distribution"))
    {
        <strong class="text-success">Working!</strong>   
    }
    else
    {
        <strong>Not working!</strong>   
    }
</span>

Is it correct way?

That seems to be correct. It's embarrassingly cumbersome doing that in the current version, and it shouldn't.

We'll be fixing that on 6.0.0, see #273.
