Notice that terminating a running task can have major impact on Miradore's operation and should be done only when absolutely necessary.

You can also see more detailed result by clicking the "Last run result" column In the "Last run result" popup you can see the return code and output produced by the task execution. Usually this information is required in troubleshooting.
