I want to know what is the difference how stop and kill will work. I have a process where we have more transactions, which keeps running. So after sometime sending a stop, want to know when will kill and start actually start..
Eg : When trigger runs a job, then a job is in pending state for sometime like 10-15 mins. So since im enabling stop state, then after bot starts , then after 20 mins will it send, or from the time trigger started job..
Can kill start early then, if trigger is calculated from trigger time..
Stop sends a graceful stop signal and allows the robot to complete the current transaction and clean up.
Kill forcefully terminates the robot process if it does not stop.
The Stop and Kill timers start only when the job status becomes Running, not when the trigger fires and not while the job is Pending.
Pending time is excluded from the calculation. Kill will never start earlier due to trigger time.
stop sends a graceful shutdown signal after the job starts, allowing current transaction to finish before ending
kill forcefully terminates immediately without waiting. stop and kill timers count from the moment the job actually starts running, not from trigger time. kill can occur earlier only if explicitly sent, otherwise stop completes first.
if the job stays pending for 10–15 mins, the 20-min stop timer begins only after the bot starts executing. kill will not start early unless you explicitly send a kill command; it does not depend on trigger time.
If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
