How to kill a hung job that wont cancel
I have run nbrbutil -dump and I can see the below lines in reference to a job I have hung in the queue that just wont cancel out.
index=6 (Allocation: id={7968DB34-F37A-11E4-8E5C-002128A6F97C} provider=NamedResourceProvider resourcename=xp53tape001.NBU_POLICY.MAXJOBS.Omaha_VMware2 masterserver=xp53tape001 groupid={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} userSequence=-1 userid="jobid=3036644" firstuserid="jobid=3036644" named resource allocation)

Is it possible to do something with nbrbutil -releaseMDS to kill this job? I wasnt sure if I could use the jobid or possibly the allocation ID. Also it looks to have several different allocation ID's so I figured I'd ask.
You got the answer to kill the processes and if you want to clear the jobs from NBU, here is the link to do that.
