I just recently checked in a change to the rel 2.0 branch which allows one to use the BeanShell server to shut a test or a thread - see my recent posting in reply to "how can i see which thread is currently being run?(solution to RAMP DOWN!)"
The new methods correspond to the GUI Stop and Shutdown options: stopEngine() = GUI shutdown stopEngineNow() = GUI stop In your case, you'ld probably need to use the stopEngineNow() method, as the others just set a flag and wait for current activity to cease. But at least you could get JMeter to finish up. Perhaps I should add a stopThreadNow() method? == As to the timeout, it might be worth checking the Apache HTTPClient documentation - this is used by the new HTTP Sampler. If there is a timeout facility, it should be quite easy to add it - or it might even already be controllable by a property.

I have been using JMeter to tease out a server bug that only shows up under load. The problem is that when I reproduce this bug, the remote server hangs, but due to the HTTP connections already being made, JMeter hangs too. I run JMeter in non-GUI mode (-n), so I have no easy way to stop the test threads. Is there a HTTP timeout setting that will cause JMeter (or Java) to terminate an HTTP connections if no bytes were transmitted for a timeout duration?
