AbortScheduledTask

AbortScheduledTask is being phased out in favor of TaskAbort, which was introduced experimentally in Version 11.2.

AbortScheduledTask[task]

interrupts any currently evaluating instances of the cloud task task.

Details

  • AbortScheduledTask does not deactivate the schedule associated with task. Execution resumes on the following trigger.
  • If there is no evaluation of task in progress, AbortScheduledTask has no effect.
  • AbortScheduledTask queues an interrupt of task and returns immediately.
  • AbortScheduledTask works on document generators.
  • AbortScheduledTask returns the cloud object of the aborted task.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Deploy a task with no schedule:

Wolfram Language code: o = CloudDeploy[ScheduledTask[Pause[120], None], "testDir/ast1"]

Attempt an abort of a task that is not running:

Wolfram Language code: AbortScheduledTask[o]

Run the task:

Wolfram Language code: RunScheduledTask@@{o};ScheduledTaskInformation[o, "Status"]

Queue an interrupt of the task:

Wolfram Language code: AbortScheduledTask[o]

Check the task status:

Wolfram Language code: ScheduledTaskInformation[o, "Status"]

Delete the task:

Wolfram Language code: RemoveScheduledTask[o]
