Hudson作业在队列中时启用和禁用

Question

Can I disable the job while it is in que waiting for build. and Can I delete my job from the que itself?

My Automation program is like this :

1. Check for the job if currently executing .
2. If not executing disable to job
3. Delete the repository directory(maven based project) for that particular job , where it downloaded dependency jars.
4. update the job (source) contents from version controller.
5. Enable the job.

Example Scenario:

1. Currently the job is not executing ,
2. It is passed through Step 2 and disabled the job, but that job is in build queue.
3. Started executing deleting the dependency files.
   While executing step 3 , Build started from the queue and failed due to dependency not found and they are deleted from Step 3.

My Question is:

If the job is disabled and in build queue, will that job will be disabled or not ?
Will it be disabled from the next run?
In my scenario it is executing the job even it is disabled.

Answer 1

I haven't found a way to actually disable a job. However, I found a way to check whether a job is in the build queue. Use the remote API, which gives you all the items currently in the build view. But I didn't find a way to get all information to generate the cancel link.
