Probably it could work both ways.
I prefer to wrap my STAX jobs in request/release calls. Something like this:
...
<sequence>
<call function="'RequestMutex'">mutex</call>
<call function="'Job'">jobparams</call>
<call function="'ReleaseMutex'">mutex</call>
</sequence>
...
<function name="RequestMutex" scope="local">
<function-list-args>
<function-required-arg name="mutex"/>
</function-list-args>
<stafcmd name="'REQUEST MUTEX'">
<location>STAX_SERVER</location>
<service>'SEM'</service>
<request>'REQUEST MUTEX %s GARBAGECOLLECT NO' % mutex</request>
</stafcmd>
</function>
<function name="ReleaseMutex" scope="local">
<function-list-args>
<function-required-arg name="mutex"/>
</function-list-args>
<stafcmd name="'RELEASE MUTEX'">
<location>STAX_SERVER</location>
<service>'SEM'</service>
<request>'RELEASE MUTEX %s' % mutex</request>
</stafcmd>
</function>

here is to run the regression test on the test clients whenever a build is
ready. We have specific machines to run the regression test for a specific
application. We can only run the same STAX job on those machines only when the
previous STAX job is finished.
