pre-stop exec false => should prevent the job getting stopped

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

A simple job:
pre-stop exec false

Should be impossible to stop. Yet the job ends up in "stop/waiting" state if stopped interactively or via "stop on" event, with or without main process running.

I think you may have just provided the rationale for not doing this: having a job that is "unstoppable" sounds dangerous.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Hm, but it would be dangerous to have unstoppable jobs, thus:

start on stopped/failed mytestjob
pre-stop exec false

Is good enough for me, actually.
