Question about lifetime of environment variables in job files

Don't forget that environment variables are inherited from parent to
child. That's _it_.

... so this would probably print zero, if it was actually used to stop
your job.

Since that job exits on its own, pre_stop isn't run.

To fix that, you might want to write a precognition module. Unfortunately,
Kernel support for crystal balls still seems to be missing. ;-)

"The world in which we live can be understood as a result of
 muddle and accident; but if it is the outcome of deliberate
 purpose, the purpose must have been that of a fiend. For my part,
 I find accident a less painful and more plausible hypothesis."
