Ability to cancel administrative schedule session

Many TSM environments use administrative schedules in conjunction with TSM scripts to perform daily maintenance activities. When running a multi-step script from an administrative schedule, the TSM server appears to use an internal session (complete with a session ID) to control the execution of all steps (processes) in the script. Once the schedule is started, there is no way to cancel the execution of the remaining steps in the script. The TSM admin must wait for, and cancel, all of the script steps individually. This can be a time-consuming process when the script has many steps.

Requested feature:
Add the ability to cancel the supporting "administrative session" to the "cancel session" command. The desired functionality would cancel the execution of all steps in the scheduled script that had not already started.

Example: cancel session 123456 type=admin
