I occasionally see jobs that appear to be hung, that do not respond to
TERMINATE JOB and it looks like STAX is waiting on something, i.e.:
staf localhost service list requests

This seems to sit around indefinitely in this state. Thread details from
STAX LIST JOB # THREADS LONG (attached) suggest that the child threads are
attempting be terminated due to the timer nodes having expired that there
are attempts to terminate the child threads, but nothing is actually being
terminated? Looking at thread 1, it looks like it's in a HardHoldThread
state due to the child threads not having been terminated?
The last call in the stack is a script element which was wrapped in a
timer block. The script element basically has some code in it to make a
web form submission. I've tried to STOP THREAD, TERMINATE JOB, etc, but
can't seem to find a way to actually get this job to finish. The only
workaround we've found seems to be to stop and restart STAF.
Any ideas how we can push the child threads along to actually terminate?
Even better, what might have got us into this state?
