Stopping an Azure Service does *not* stop the WebJob's continuously running behind it

Viewed 1879

I have an Azure WebJob that is running on a pretty simple App Service Standard: 1 Small (plan).

Now, there was a problem with my WebJob (which has 5 functions running) - I wanted to stop 4 of the 5 running functions. I couldn't see how, so I thought I'd just stop the entire WebJob instead.

So I ended up just stopping the App Service.

Great, that was stopped, but the WebJob was still running and I didn't notice that until a few hours later.

I later noticed that the WebJob blade has its own Start/Stop button.

I thought the WebJobs were tied directly to the App Service.

What is the connection between the two? How does one affect that other?
