NAME Get-DbaRunningJob
SYNOPSIS
Returns all non-idle Agent jobs running on the server
SYNTAX
Get-DbaRunningJob [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>] [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [[-InputObject] <Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.Job[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This function returns agent jobs that active on the SQL Server instance when calling the command
PARAMETERS
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
