Backup Job stuck "in queue"
Hi,
I have a couple backup jobs that are stuck "in queu". I try to cancel them, but the return to an "in queue" status. I do not want to delete these jobs, and seem to recall finding a way to clear the status before. I am familiar with linux, and can SSH to the ReadyNAS. I just cannot recall the file I had to edit or delete to clear the job status. Anyone have an idea? Running 6.1.9.

- I think I found the solution to my own problem, so I will share it here to help someone else to to help myself in the future.
I used SSH to login to the ReadyNAS, and went to /var/log/frontview/backup
In that directory there are status files for all of the backup jobs. I simply found the status files for the jobs I was having trouble with, and moved them out of that directory (could also delete but I was trying to be safe). Then when I refreshed in Frontview, the job went to "ready". I was then able to start the job. - Thank you!!! This has been driving me nuts.
