stopping RStan in parallel mode?

[Bob Carpenter]

Does interrupting sampling work when running in parallel?
I can't seem to get a wayward sampler to stop.

Not from RStudio, which seems to catch interrupts and do something different with them. You can call

system("killall R")

from RStudio to kill all of the R sessions except the one being run by RStudio.

I'm running R in the bash terminal. Will that
work there, too?

Maybe. You can definitely kill a particular process ID. But I was under the impression that interrupting in the terminal would cause child processes to stop. It does in Linux at least.
