If you know where the script for the job is located, you should grep
the relevant directories for that path. If no plist is resident on-
disk pointing to that job, someone is dynamically creating the job.
This is possible through `launchctl submit` or through the use of
undocumented APIs.
In any case, without knowing the job's label, it's hard for me to do
much more beyond speculate as to what's happening.
