scheduled job control

i'd like to use external vbscript task to check [running] status of
scheduled jobs on sql database, to see is particular job running,
and may it be forced to start or stop.
do i need some special component or is all allready bilt in into sql server?
thanks for comments.Look at sp_help_job in Books Online. It should give you everything you
need.
