Ahh yes, the timer's TimerCallback method signature needed to be void DoWork(object state) hence needing another method call that uses async Task accepting a CancellationToken.
But looking at it again I think that DoWorkAsync and RunJobAsync could just be the one method.
I'll take another look later and will try and explain more in another blog post.

Hi Katie,
Take a look at this. hitting ctrl-c while its running or in the 5-second DoWork method will cancel gracefully and hopefully do what you want.
I plan to blog about it in more detail later but this should help.

Thanks John. I see now the running timer callback is buried several levels down. Makes things a bit more complex, but I understand what you did.

Great! Looking forward to it.
