When build is timed out or cancelled, QB sends SIGTERM to the process. Unfortunately some process won't respond to this signal and remains running. We will investigate other more reliable approaches for processing killing.

Hi Robin,
this functionality is critical for me.
It should function like in QB3 please.

Hi Leon,

Although build is stopped immediately when pressing the stop button. However the process will still remain running and can cause side effect to subsequent builds. QB4 makes it explicitly that if a process can not be terminated, the build will not stop.

Kill is more reliable via taskkill in latest version of QB on Windows
