There's not really enough information - or, it depends.

For example, do you have "always running" or "start on demand" jobs? Are they multi-instance or not?

Key questions, as Ray notes, is the type and topology of the Jobs.....if we assume that they are "always on" Jobs with WISD input stage, then you "deploy" them at the Information Server Console (ISD Console).....and then go to the "Deployed Application Workspace" once they are deployed to enable/disable them if you want/need to shut them down.

Can we assume that you have already deployed them successfully at the WISD console with the development of an Application, Service, choice of Binding, Operation, etc.?

Exactly.... As soon as you finish the "deployment" in the Info Server Console, your job wil be started...it will be running and "waiting" for your incoming SOAP request.......when the request arrives it wlll be processed immediately.

And this means, in turn, that you really should design in a mechanism through which you can request an always-running job to stop, for backups, etc.

Unfortunately, in todays release, the gui is the only way to stop an ISD job.....by "disabling" it......

I've learned something today. Does the "old way" - having the job check for the existence of a file or of a value in a file - not work any more?

Not for ISD........the starting and stopping is controlled entirely by the gui....a command line is coming in the next release as an extension of istool......

Indeed, for always-on MQ type jobs, you can have it read a special message type to shut down gracefully....
