I have a job running under Hudson that has not progressed from "Started by user anonymous". How can I stop it? I tried restarting the Hudson server but it just resumed the job on startup.
It can't be killed by the normal cancel build button.
Thanks.
A:
You should see a little red "X" next to the running build. Click on that to cancel it. After it's cancelled, you will see a "Delete this build" button on the job page. If desired, you can delete the build with that button.
If you don't see the little red "X", you may not have permission to cancel the build. If you're using security in Hudson, make sure you're logged in with appropriate permissions.

Ah yes, I probably should have said that in the question - if the red X worked I wouldn't be here ;) It just isn't responding to anything and I can't find anything obvious that looks like a good process to kill with preduice.

Check your build process to make sure that it's not waiting for interactive input. For example, if you run over ssh, and the server isn't in the known hosts file, maybe it's waiting for you to authorize the fingerprint. Likewise, if you haven't setup automatic key exchange, maybe it's waiting for you to enter a password.

Hudson was waiting for SVN to respond - SVN was waiting for the permission for my id to use the repository. Once this was there Hudson started working again.
I would presume that in this instance there would have been an SVN process I would have needed to kill in order to get Hudson to respond again.
