jack commented on AIRFLOW-851:
------------------------------
[~ashb] Gupta is right. Clearing a task in running state doesn't actually stop
it. It changes it status in Airflow but the process is still running in the
machine so you need also to kill it from command line. From observer point of
view it seems like this is more a bug in Airflow which was exploited to an
actual functionality. It seems like that initial intention was that clear
shouldn't work on Running state.

> I am not sure how to kill a running Job.
> We have long running bash jobs and sometimes find out, that there is an issue
> and we want to cancel them.
> Right now we have to use ssh and do:
> {code}
> ps -aux | grep "bash script name"
> kill pid
> {code}
> Maybe there is already a way to do it form the UI, but we could not figure it
> out. I would like to add documentation, how to do it.
