Killing a Task - NumericDavid - 06-25-2024 06:54 PM

Hi everyone,

what is the method to stop a Task that takes too long? Something like ctrl-c on the PC?
Particularly: how may I kill a PPL or Python program without deleting to much memory? Needle operated reset buttons or taking batteries out seems to harsh to me.
Imagine a program caught in an infinite loop or a newton iteration that won't converge.

Best wishes,
David
