While I don't currently have any User Jobs set up, I've been wanting to dive into the myth code a little bit and this seems like a fairly trivial task and hence, a good starting place for me. I pulled the latest cvs last night and I believe I have this working correctly. I need to do some more testing on it and create a patch, but as soon as that's done I'll post the patch. As it stands right now User Jobs will show up in the 'Job Options' menu if there is a command specified for that job (i.e., if you only specified a command for User Job 1 then User Job 1 will be in the menu, but 2, 3 and 4 will not). The menu options for User Jobs pretty much duplicate the Transcoding and Commercial Flagging menus in that if the job is already schedule the menu item will allow you to stop it, if not you can start the job from the menu. As Chris pointed out in his previous message, external programs won't be able to stop unless they're written to check the job queue table for the stop message, but I figured it's better to have it in there for now since folks could very well write apps to check for that.
