Issue :

Unable to open the Timer Job Definition in the Central Administration "Unknown Error".

Cause:

Was able to browse through the Job History and the status. Found that there were couple of timer jobs stuck from 2 months and causing this issue.

Fix:

Ran the "stsadm -o exeadmsvcjobs", but still the error was persist and the jobs were not getting removed.

Ran the following commands and removed the stuck jobs:

Get-SPTimerJob | ? {$_.Displayname -like “Name”}

$job = Get-SPTimerJob -id ""

$job.Delete()

Cheers!
