Stopping, tasks, Killing

Page 237 highlights

v Click the down arrow in the right-hand corner of the title bar of the Task Manager view and choose Run from the menu. v Click the Execute tasks button in the title bar of the Task Manager view. Be sure not to enable checkboxes for tasks or task groups that have conflicting results. For instance, do not enable both the Launch Server and Shutdown Server tasks. Executing a group of tasks To execute a single group of tasks, right-click the task group and choose Run. Only the tasks in the task group you right-clicked will execute. The checkbox for the task group does not have to be enabled for its tasks to execute, though the checkboxes for the tasks you want to execute within the group do have to be enabled. You might use this approach frequently with the Start Client Simulators task group. You will frequently execute groups of tasks to initially prepare a test, as described in "Executing selected groups of tasks" on page 224. You might close the Client Simulator views you have open during the course of a series of tests, however, and then need to launch them and connect them again. You do not have to execute all of the tasks that have already been performed, however-you can execute only the Start Client Simulators task group. Executing a single task To execute a single task, right-click the task and choose Run. Only the task you right-clicked will execute. The checkbox for the task does not have to be enabled for it to execute. You might use this approach to shut down the server. You might want to start the server again immediately afterwards, and not want to re-enable all the required checkboxes. You can just right-click the Shutdown Server task and execute it alone. Stopping tasks You can instruct Task Manager to stop its queue of currently executing tasks. It will allow whichever task is currently executing to finish, but will not execute any subsequent tasks. For example, if you choose to stop the tasks while the Launch Server task is executing, then Task Manager will allow the server to finish starting. Do one of the following to stop the currently executing tasks: v Click the down arrow in the right-hand corner of the title bar of the Task Manager view and choose Stop Tasks from the menu. v Click the Stop tasks button in the title bar of the Task Manager view. Killing tasks You can instruct Task Manager to kill its currently executing tasks. It will terminate the currently executing task and will not execute any subsequent tasks either. For example, if you choose to kill the tasks while the Launch Server task is executing, then Task Manager does not allow the server to finish starting. To kill the currently executing tasks, click the down arrow in the right-hand corner of the title bar of the Task Manager view and choose Kill Tasks from the menu. Chapter 12.

v
Click
the
down
arrow
in
the
right-hand
corner
of
the
title
bar
of
the
Task
Manager
view
and
choose
Run
from
the
menu.
v
Click
the
Execute
tasks
button
in
the
title
bar
of
the
Task
Manager
view.
Be
sure
not
to
enable
checkboxes
for
tasks
or
task
groups
that
have
conflicting
results.
For
instance,
do
not
enable
both
the
Launch
Server
and
Shutdown
Server
tasks.
Executing
a
group
of
tasks
To
execute
a
single
group
of
tasks,
right-click
the
task
group
and
choose
Run
.
Only
the
tasks
in
the
task
group
you
right-clicked
will
execute.
The
checkbox
for
the
task
group
does
not
have
to
be
enabled
for
its
tasks
to
execute,
though
the
checkboxes
for
the
tasks
you
want
to
execute
within
the
group
do
have
to
be
enabled.
You
might
use
this
approach
frequently
with
the
Start
Client
Simulators
task
group.
You
will
frequently
execute
groups
of
tasks
to
initially
prepare
a
test,
as
described
in
“Executing
selected
groups
of
tasks”
on
page
224.
You
might
close
the
Client
Simulator
views
you
have
open
during
the
course
of
a
series
of
tests,
however,
and
then
need
to
launch
them
and
connect
them
again.
You
do
not
have
to
execute
all
of
the
tasks
that
have
already
been
performed,
however—you
can
execute
only
the
Start
Client
Simulators
task
group.
Executing
a
single
task
To
execute
a
single
task,
right-click
the
task
and
choose
Run
.
Only
the
task
you
right-clicked
will
execute.
The
checkbox
for
the
task
does
not
have
to
be
enabled
for
it
to
execute.
You
might
use
this
approach
to
shut
down
the
server.
You
might
want
to
start
the
server
again
immediately
afterwards,
and
not
want
to
re-enable
all
the
required
checkboxes.
You
can
just
right-click
the
Shutdown
Server
task
and
execute
it
alone.
Stopping
tasks
You
can
instruct
Task
Manager
to
stop
its
queue
of
currently
executing
tasks.
It
will
allow
whichever
task
is
currently
executing
to
finish,
but
will
not
execute
any
subsequent
tasks.
For
example,
if
you
choose
to
stop
the
tasks
while
the
Launch
Server
task
is
executing,
then
Task
Manager
will
allow
the
server
to
finish
starting.
Do
one
of
the
following
to
stop
the
currently
executing
tasks:
v
Click
the
down
arrow
in
the
right-hand
corner
of
the
title
bar
of
the
Task
Manager
view
and
choose
Stop
Tasks
from
the
menu.
v
Click
the
Stop
tasks
button
in
the
title
bar
of
the
Task
Manager
view.
Killing
tasks
You
can
instruct
Task
Manager
to
kill
its
currently
executing
tasks.
It
will
terminate
the
currently
executing
task
and
will
not
execute
any
subsequent
tasks
either.
For
example,
if
you
choose
to
kill
the
tasks
while
the
Launch
Server
task
is
executing,
then
Task
Manager
does
not
allow
the
server
to
finish
starting.
To
kill
the
currently
executing
tasks,
click
the
down
arrow
in
the
right-hand
corner
of
the
title
bar
of
the
Task
Manager
view
and
choose
Kill
Tasks
from
the
menu.
