Terminate a running script in gateway

[vani161998]

Hi All,
Is there any way to terminate a running script ?
i was testing a script with system.util.invokeAsynchronous function .
i have disabled all my codes and tag change properties,but still the script is running .

You could try opening a console and pressing Ctrl+C

I’ve seen that mentioned in a few other forum posts

i am not running from script console.
i have written my script inside project library and triggered using a tag change.

There is no safe way. If you can get a reference to the thread, you can use .interrupt(). But that is not assured due to the nature of java threads.

You must design your long-running threads to be interruptible, or to automatically die after a time limit, or some other housekeeping method. This is also required to prevent memory leaks when code changes.

In the meantime, you will probably have to restart the gateway.

The easiest way is absolutely to restart the gateway.

That said, some changes we made in the 8.X line might make this possible, depending on your exact version:

Thread Descriptions in Diagnostics Menu

For the first request, changes are coming soon - possibly as soon as 8.0.15. Right now, there’s no way to set that description, but there will just be a description keyword argument to provide on your system.util.invokeAsynchronous calls. For the latter: from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script import ScriptManager for script in ScriptManager.executingScripts(): if script.description == "My Async Thread": ScriptManager.interrupt(script.threadId)
