Can't stop a job #40

Open sparsecoder opened 6 years ago

sparsecoder commented 6 years ago

On Windows 10 running GUI version I ran a job that I decided was to large part way through. I closed the progress dialog to try to cancel the job. The dialog closed but my machine was still working on the problem. I couldn't close the main window. Ctlr-C in the command prompt hiding behind prism gave a response about not able to join threads from a separate process. I closed the command prompt window, but the job still persisted for a while.

Look into graceful ways to leave by sending a kill signal to worker thread, and copy of the parent thread. If so where are good abort points for the simulation e.g. after potential, in between frozen phonons
