You could extend the DefaultFailedJobCommandFactory (and configure it in the failedJobCommandFactory property of the process engine configuration), to return a modified version of the DecrementJobRetriesCmd. You could set the job-retries to zero instead of the current "job.getRetries() - 1" value.

This will work for all jobs that fail. Offcourse, you can manually set the retry count to 0 for all jobs in your code, however, this requires you to call code fore every timer/job created.

In case the server restarts when a job is being executed, it will wait (for a max amount of time) for all jobs to complete. If not complete by theat time, it will force all threads to stop. This will rollback any transactions active, when executing a job. So the job isn't actually "executed" successfully. That's why the job will be re-run when server starts, that's the way it's supposed to work.
