Job Queue not runing automatically; only when user logs in

In a NAV 2017 CU6 i am facing a situation where a job that has been set up in the job queue will not run automatically. Instead it is running the instance I log in.

We have set up a range of jobs, both codeunits and report, and all except one run just as they should. However one job will not run automatically. Going through the logs, I can see that instead it is starting the very instance I log into the client. I can't find any differences between the various jobs :( Has anybody experienced anything similar?

The codeunit being called has "Job Queue Entry" as a paramter, so that is ok.
All the other jobs run as expected, so I don't think it is a server setting.
The instance I log in the job will run, so the job queue is "active" somehow.
Don't just take my word for it, test it yourself

    This was eventually tracked down to being an unfurtunate link between a seperate server missing some components (making the job fail), and the user logging in causing a reschedule of the job an consequently running it as it was overdue.

    Weird behaviour often disappears when you switch 'the thing' off and back on. I would try to restart the NAV instance, or stop+start the job in the queue, or even delete it and recreate the job from scratch. Eventually you can try to call the codeunit from a report, and schedule the report instead.
    IF User.Loves('Edo') THEN ok() ELSE currReport.genSkip;
