How to kill a scheduled cron job ?

I’m curious if I have a rest API that creates and schedules a cron job.

How could I cancel this cron job at a future point? Considering the reference to the job is now out of scope when I want to cancel it.

` I can start it but I can’t end it…

    var cronJob = CRON.job(frequency, function()
     {        

            updateFeedbackJob()
            .then(result =>
             {
                    printMessage("updateFeedbackJob()-> finished");
            })
             .catch(err =>
            {
                   printMessage("updateFeedbackJob()-> failed");
                    printObject(err);
            });
    });
    cronJob.start();

how do I store the cron jobs to the database to kill it later?

@kamleshkarwande You get the reference to the job in two ways. Either by setting a variable when instantiating var a = new Job() and then calling a.stop() via a closure or something else OR by not using an arrow function for the onTick in which case the scope of the function should be the job.

Hope that helps.
