How to delete a timer job using powershell in sharepoint

Hi,
Recently many site admins requested me to provide an easy way to delete a timer job. A timer job can always be deleted via a non documented STSADM command as

STSADM -o deleteconfigurationobject -id guid. However this command is not recommended for production environment. Hence to resolve this issue I created a powershell script that takes only one input as the guid of the timer job and deletes it. Here is the script :

param([string]$jobid)

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

function RahulDeleteTimerJob($jobid) {

write-host "This script will delete a timer job"

        $farm = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local

        $services = $farm.Services

        foreach($service in $services)

{

$jobdefs = $service.JobDefinitions

foreach($job in $jobdefs)

{

       if($job.Id.ToString() -eq $jobid)

{

          $job.Delete()

}

}

}

write-host "The job is deleted"

}

RahulDeleteTimerJob $jobid

I hope this will help you out.

Thanks,

Rahul Rashu
