So this is behaving correctly, emitting any stop_foo A=... will stop
both instances.

First up, let's correct the job:

start on start_foo A=*
stop on stop_foo A=$A

ie. we now only stop the job whenever stop_foo is emitted with the SAME
VALUE of $A as when it was started.

Now your example will work.


However you don't need to use events like this; you can just use the
"start" and "stop" commands directly.

  start foo A=...
  stop foo A=...
