How to kill OF job gracefully?

Hi,

Use "foamEndJob <root> <case> <pid>"

This kills a running case at the next write to disk operation (as specified by the "writeControl" and "writeInterval" options).

To kill a simulation immediately, you need to go to the "<case>/system/controlDict" file, and change the "stopAt" option from whatever it is to "writeNow".

This causes OpenFOAM to write to disk immediately after the current iteration, and stops the simulation.

Enjoy!
