1.4.4.2 Aborting Asynchronous Tasks

To abort a task while it is running in the background, use the tm.abort method, again with the task handle id as the argument. For example,

will abort the task if it is running.

If this does not work, try CNTL-Z followed by a kill -9 <PID> for the appropriate process ID. See § 1.3.5 for more on these methods to abort CASA execution.

ALERT: Currently, this is only available with the tm tool. We are working on a taskmanager task.
