Stop running a job

[Teodora_Dima]

Hi,

How should I stop running a job? I started two similar jobs in the tool Sub.sample, which are running about 12h.

Thanks in advance,

Teodora

Welcome @Teodora_Dima

To stop a job that you no longer want to run, you can delete then purge it.

If the job was queued, then it will be removed from the queue.

If the job was already running, it will abort the reporting steps the next time that it communicates with Galaxy and your history.

More details about how jobs execute can be found here → queued-gray-datasets

When working at UseGalaxy.org, UseGalaxy.eu, or UseGalaxy.org.au, your analysis jobs execute at large scale academic clusters. Hundreds of thousands of jobs process each month!

• Use a Workflow for batch work.
• Allow queued (grey color) and executing (yellow-orange) datasets to finish processing.
• Deleting and rerunning puts your job back at the end of the queue again!
• Job priority is the exactly the same for everyone.
• Be patient. Galaxy is a free service, when a lot of people are using it, you may have to wait longer than usual (especially for ‘big’ jobs, e.g. alignments).

Hope this helps to understand how the processing works!
