Catching a "kill job" event from within a SSIS package executed by that job.

    I have a SQL Agent job that executes an SSIS package which includes a script task. An operator can kill the job from SSMS, and I wonder if there's a way for the script task to catch that event. I looked at all the events exposed in the SSIS designer but didn't see any that captures an externally triggered shutdown.

    If this can't be done from a script task, can it be done from another type of task? I can hack something once I get a hold of that event....

    Please ignore this question, the problem I'm having goes deeper and I already found a different solution.

    I tried to just delete this post but there seems to be no way of doing that.

    Thanks, Sam.  If you have the time, it would be interesting to know how you resolved the problem.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    @jeff: I didn't resolve it, it's just that as I looked into the problem further it turned out (surprise surprise...) the situation was more complicated than what the initial requirements said. Long story short: new requirements lead to some refactoring which fixed the original problem so now there's no need to manually kill the job.

    From what I could find there doesn't seem to be a way to nicely quit a package that's executed from a job when that job is killed, so in a way the original question is still open.
