Azure webjob is always "Running" - azure-webjobs

Question

I just created an azure web job. I scheduled it to run every 1 minute:
0 */1 * * * *
This is the code
var host = new JobHost();
Console.WriteLine("Starting program...");
var unityContainer = new UnityContainer();
unityContainer.RegisterType<ProgramStarter, ProgramStarter>();
unityContainer.RegisterType<IOutgoingEmailRepository, OutgoingEmailRepository>();
unityContainer.RegisterType<IOutgoingEmailService, OutgoingEmailService>();
unityContainer.RegisterType<IDapperHelper, DapperHelper>();
//var game = unityContainer.Resolve<IOutgoingEmailRepository>();
var program = unityContainer.Resolve<ProgramStarter>();
program.Run().Wait();
Console.WriteLine("All done....");
host.RunAndBlock();
The problem is that the status never change to "success". Am I doing smth wrong? The followings are the app settings I use, should I change? I also noticed that it runs just the first time, I believe it is because it never ends

You could check your webkjob logs on KUDU.
If you use the above job in a RunAndBlock scenario, then your job has to be continuous. That means, the process will run all the time.
Obviously, you're using Trigger webjob here, not Continuous. RunAndBlock method can not be used here.
WEBJOBS_IDLE_TIMEOUT - Time in seconds after which we'll abort a
running triggered job's process if it's in idle, has no cpu time or
output (Only for triggered jobs).
In addition,I notice that you set WEBJOBS_IDLE_TIMEOUT to 100000.It seems that the value is too large so that it makes your webjob never stops for a long time when it's in idle.
You could also change the grace period of a job by specifying it (in seconds) in the settings.job file where the name of the setting is stopping_wait_time like so:
{ "stopping_wait_time": 60 }
More details ,please refer to this doc.
Hope it helps you.
