Stop azure deployed time triggered webjob

Deanna Delapasse 11

I've read that the "proper" (debatable) way to stop a scheduled webjob is to get to scm and delete the settings.job file. However, my project is deployed as a zip through devops so I can't delete files. Trying gives 409.

I also can't delete the job. Portal tells me it's deleted, but it's not.

I've tried stopping the app service but the jobs keep running. What are the other options?

Adding an Application settings value of WEBJOB_STOPPED with a value of 1 to stop the job. Here is a reference article for webjobs, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-create

Hope this helps and don't forget to mark answer if it helped you!

@xequence @ajkuma It doesn't seem modifying the portal app settings during a run effects the running process. I also tried setting WEBJOBS_DISABLE_SCHEDULE but that one didn't help either.

I have one app service with 3 webjobs (1 continuous and 2 triggered).
