SQL Server Agent Job for the first 4 days of Month - sql-server-2000

I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a job that will run the first 4 days of the month in SQL Server 2000? I found how to run a job once on the first or second day, but the only way I figured I could run each of the four days would be to create a job for each day meaning I would have 4 jobs created. I was hoping for a better way.

Instead of creating 4 jobs, you can create one job with 4 schedules.
Fire up enterprise manager, create your job as you normally would and on the schedules tab of the Job properties add 4 schedules, one for each day of the month you'd like the job to run.

Sorry I don;t have SQL 2000 to hand but can you not once the job is created add 4x schedules to the job (Edit Job > New Schedule or similar)
Sorry if this isn't available, you can use this method in 2008

How to create a job in SQL Developer in CST timing?

I have a procedure named sales_update which updates a table named sales_entry. I need to create a job in SQL DEVELOPER VERSION 2.1.0. The job needs to be created in CST timing daily # 8 am so as the table sales_entry gets updated by 8 am CST.
How do I do that?

SQL Query - To stop/kill long running SQL job

I have a sql job who does some calculation in every 15 minutes.
Now i want to monitor this job. To check if that job is currently running and if yes then its been running for more than 10 minutes.
If it's running for more than 10 minutes then i want to stop/kill this job.
Is there any query available to do it?
Tried
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_stop_job N'job name'
And it worked!
My best guess is you need SMO (SQL Server Management Objects) to pull this off. In particular take a look at the Job Class.

How to change a column value based on date (every year)

I am working on a leave management system, and this is my first web application. I have a LocalDB sql server in visual studio 2010 and I need some columns to be updated every year.
For example, I have SickLeave column (int), I need this column to be updated with the value (15) in a specific date (every year), the date will be different from one employee to another based on his joining date.
I have searched a lot, there is something called scheduled event in mySQL that can do something similar, but it doesn't work for sql server.
So anyone has an idea how to do it? Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You can use a SQL Agent Job.
SQL Agent: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189237.aspx
Create a Job: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190268.aspx
We use these for all sorts of scheduled tasks.
In your case you could create Job that runs Daily, the job can execute a StoredProc (or simple Update statement).
UPDATE Employee SET SickLeave = 15 WHERE DAY(JoinedDate) = DAY(GETDATE()) AND MONTH(JoinedDate) = MONTH(GETDATE())

SQL 2000 script to kill Agent job if it overuns

On a legacy SQL 2000 box that is awaiting upgrade
Does anyone have a script to kill / abort a job in SQL Agent 2000 if it over runs a set duration or overlaps with another agent job.
This is causing us a serious problem every few weeks a job overuns then locks the reindex job and that freezes our 24 / 7 server
One solution would be to add a step at the beginning of the job with which the long-running job overlaps which checks whether the long-running job is still running, and if it is issue an sp_stop_job command.
You can get the current execution status of a job using sp_help_job, but its output is not very easy to manipulate in a query.
Various methods of coercing the output of sp_help_job into a temp table in SQL 2000 are discussed here - alternatively you can query msdb.sysjobhistory to get the execution status information.

SQL Job Occurring every Less than 10 seconds

Is it possible to make Job Schedule, which will occur every less than 10 seconds?
Because Sql server doesn't allow that.
Schedule type is "Recurring" and Occurs "Daily".
Select occurs Daily and run every 10 seconds. Although keep in mind if your job takes longer than the time specified to run, the agent won't invoke it again until the running task completes.
See comments below. The UI tool doesn't allow input for less than 10 seconds. In your case you could schedule two job tasks offset by some number of seconds. The issue then is that the jobs could overlap as they are distinct tasks as far as SQL Agent knows.
I tried do something similar (SQL Server job with prcise timing), but the only reliabile way I found was custom windows service execution SQL statements.
