This scripts cancells jobs by passing a json formatted file with jobid. 
The idea is to give administrators a handy script to test script based job creation and then immediately delete all just created jobs at once instead of using web UI.
Sample command:
              python jobstatus.py -s bjsuma.bo2go.home -u bjin -p suse1234 -f ./joblist.json\n \
