KillBackground

KillBackground​

The KillBackground operation kills the unnamed background task.

KillBackground works only with the unnamed background task. New code should used named background tasks instead. See Background Tasks for details.

Details​

You cannot call KillBackground from within the background function itself. However, if you return 1 from the background function, instead of the normal 0, Igor will terminate the background task.
