Thanks Phil. In the end I decided to run them manually after all. I read the docs regarding this option and decided it was a bad idea because of "a failed job is defined as one that has not terminated normally, which includes any running job of the same name". I have several jobs which attempt to run over the weekend which would be fine when differentials are running, but when my once-monthly full jobs run, there are always a number of jobs which try to run when the full job is still going.
