Stop Rsync or Cron Job

[Rickinfl]

Is it me or I'm blind and can't see it, but is there anyway to stop a Cron Job or , Rsync Job? without shutting down 8 VM's then rebooting an entire Freenas system.

I am curious how you started the command and which command it is, but you can generally stop any running process with the kill command.

In the GUI under Task. I have them scheduled and I needed to stop a running 1.

In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, kill is a command used to send a signal to a process. By default, the message sent is the termination signal, which requests that the process exit.

Have you configured SSH so that you can connect from a remote terminal session?

You will want to do this from a terminal.

Sorry, I don't think there is a GUI option that lets you kill a running process.
