Stop a running script - Trond Hoyem - 03.11.2020
Hi
I have some system-scripts that takes several minutes to run. These are only ran by pressing the run button, so I have some control over when they are running.
But sometimes it would be good to be able to stop a script that is already running for some reason. Is this possible?

Open scripting editor and get your script id (editor?id=123). Use this script to stop a running script with a certain id.
Code:
id = 123
os.execute('pkill -f "scripting-event.lua ' .. id .. ' "')RE: Stop a running script - buuuudzik - 09.11.2020
How can I get script id in script? Is it some function available or I must get it from db?

Note that this will work only for event scripts. For resident scripts use script.disable(script_name)Code:id = 123
os.execute('pkill -f "scripting-event.lua ' .. id .. ' "')
for an event script, dose this kill all running instances for the event script?
And is it possible to check if there are running instances before using the above?

As I've said - open the editor and you will see the id in the address bar.
Otherwise you will need db queries.

Yes, this will stop all running instances. If you want to get PIDs of a certain event script, you can use this script:
Code:
id = 123
pids = io.readproc('pgrep -f "scripting-event.lua ' .. id .. ' "')
log(pids)
