SQL Server Agent Job Timeout

Question

I have just had a scheduled SQL Server job run for longer than normal, and I could really have done with having set a timeout to stop it after a certain length of time.

Answer 1

What kind of a job is this? You may want to consider putting the whole job in a TSQL script within a While loop. The condition to check would obviously be the time difference between current time and job start time.
