help to tighten use of cmdshell or sp_start_job

By Johan Bijnens, 2007/05/31

-- The goal is to avoid the use of sp_start_job in an application. So we have the application use RAISERROR to activate the job.
-- 1) because you can only start jobs you own
-- 2) we don't want to open the cmdshell to everyone
-- 3) we want control regarding jobs that run on our server.
-- 4) we want to have an indication how much is "ad-hoc"
