Killing Tasks

Uncached tasks remain loaded until explicitly killed, or until the creating process is logged out. They remain loaded when ICL exits. Thus it is possible to use ICL to load a task, then exit from ICL, and subsequently communicate with the task from a second invocation of ICL (which might be started on a different terminal).

Tasks are killed using the KILL or KILLW commands.

KILL
-- Kills a task without waiting for completion

KILLW
-- Kills a task and waits for completion
