Hello,

I’m curious to hear if anyone has implemented a way to terminate a bot execution remotely. Python, powershell, killing processes and services, I’m interested to hear if anyone has had success with this. Unfortunately this isn’t available natively via the control room api, so I’d like to here from others on this.

I have a python script that terminates all “Automation Anywhere” processes running on a device. Unfortunately this has the side effect of disconnecting the bot runner device from the machine. Seeking clean methods with minimal side effects for terminating bot runs.


Thank you

​@Uzumaki What about the /v3/activity/manage API call? You would need the execution ID, but there is the ability to “stop_executions” by “execution_ids”.

Huh I didn’t even see that. That makes things a lot easier, thanks.
