[Pulp-list] Stuck repo sync job

[Richard Grainger]

When Pulp (very occasionally) gets itself in a bit of a mess, I find
this one-liner useful:

  for ID in `pulp-admin tasks list | grep 'Task Id' | sed 's/Task
Id:\s*//g'`; do pulp-admin tasks cancel --task-id=$ID; done;

It cancels all current/pending tasks.
