I think there is a problem with the state diagram




                                                +--> canceled(7)
                                               /
    +---> pending(3) ----> processing(5) -----+----> aborted(8)
    |        ^                    ^            \
--->+        |                    |             +--> completed(9)
    |        v                    |
    +---> held(4)    processing-stopped(6)


In that it does not show the ability to cancel a job from Held or
Needs-Attention (processing-stopped) states. It is also quite possible
that a job in Needs-Attention state would ultimately abort.


I recommend the following changes to the diagram...




                                                +--> canceled(7)
                                               /
    +---> pending(3) ----> processing(5) ---+-+----> aborted(8)
    |        ^                    ^         |  \
--->+        |                    |         |   +--> completed(9)
    |        v                    v         |
    +---> held(4)    processing-stopped(6)  |
             |                    |         |
             +--------------------+---------+
