Usage:
       jobs-cmd-filter command pre-user-jobs "/p4/common/bin/triggers/JobsCmdFilter.py %args%"

This script is designed to run as a jobs command filter trigger on the server.
It ensures that multiple wildcards are not specified in any search string
(which can cause the server to perform excessive processing and impact performance)
