Controlling and Stopping Running Tasks

AutoMate tasks can be stopped at any time by holding down the CTRL-ALT-END keys simultaneously.

This will immediately pause all running tasks and display the AutoMate Running Tasks dialog which shows currently running tasks and provides options to stop one or all tasks.  Note that when ending a task using the End Task button while a task is running a Messagebox step will stop the task once the messagebox is cleared.  

Tasks that have been queued by a prioritized task also appear in this window.  Queued tasks are marked as Queued in the Status column.  From here, you can remove a task from the queue, or force a queued task to run.

Forcing a queued task
To force a queued task out of the queue and run immediately, right click on the desired task name and select Force Task.

Removing a queued task
To remove a task from the queue without running it, select the desired task name and click End Task.   Multiple queued tasks may be selected by holding down the Ctrl key while selecting tasks.

Ending all tasks and clearing the queue
Click the End All button.  All running tasks will stop immediately and the queue will be cleared.
