I have a thread that will execute infinitely because I got a if `t1-t2` statement backwards 🤷. How can I kill a specific thread? I already tried rebooting the entire gateway to no avail. The only action I have available to me at Gateway / Config / Threads is "copy to clipboard".

Is it running in the Gateway or in your Client/Designer?

It's running from a call to system.util.invokeAsynchronous() from inside of a button that I clicked in the designer.

Ok, in that case there's no reason restarting the Gateway would have any effect, you would need to restart your Designer.

You could try interrupting that thread and hope something it's doing is paying attention to interrupts. You'd have to find the thread via something like [Thread (Java SE 17 & JDK 17)](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Thread.html#enumerate(java.lang.Thread%5B%5D)) or [Thread (Java SE 17 & JDK 17)](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Thread.html#getAllStackTraces()).
