Do you always choose just to murder your jobs rather than to try to find out why they're hanging? Often the problem is a lock in a database - wouldn't it be wise to ascertain that and free the database lock so that the job can continue to completion?

No, I mean to ask the Notes administrator whether there are any locks in the notes database, and try to resolve why.
