### 12.3.9. Cancelling an Interactive Session

You can cancel an interactive session in several ways:

- In the EKM web client, right-click the interactive job object on the Jobs/Job Monitor page and select Cancel from the context menu, or select the job object and click the cancel button on the toolbar. The Cancel Job dialog box will appear prompting you to confirm the cancellation.

- In the remote visualization client, log out of the remote session. Note that closing the client window will not terminate the session and you will still be able to connect to it afterward.

- (Linux only) Close the application (for example Workbench) that was launched interactively. The session will close automatically when the application closes.

Note:

- If you close the launched application and the interactive session does not close, it is likely that the Close session when application exits option is disabled in the interactive job template. Note also that this option only works for interactive jobs started in Linux. You will need to close the session using one of the other methods. For details about this setting see Defining General Job Submission Settings.

- If an interactive session is closed outside of EKM (for example, from the remote visualization client), the corresponding job object may still appear in the Job Monitor for a few minutes. Once EKM detects that a session has been closed, the job’s status will change to Cancelled.
