how to force a queued job to be cancelled? (without a job PID) is it possible?

 I know that by cmd "taskkill /pid 7900 -f" we can cancel a running job by force. But is there a way to cancel a job that has been queued thus without a "job pid" ?

There are a lot of jobs that are queued and that I need to cancel by force since they are not responding by the normal way.
I normally use this cmd "TASKKILL /PID # -F" for  jobs with an assigned PID (process id), but I need to find a way to cancel jobs without pid.
if someone could assist me with this, that will be great, 
cheers 
thanks

This command is close to what you require within NetBackup to 'kill' jobs.

Show a summary of activity monitor jobs
# bpdbjobs -summary

Show all data stored in Activity Monitor
# bpdbjobs - report

Kill all ACTIVE jobs
# bpdbjobs -kill_all

Kill jobs
# bpdbjobs -kill <jobID>

thank you very much,    I think this one is the one I need    # bpdbjobs -kill <jobID>       

and I suppose this one works only using the job id instead of the process id right?

thanks
