<p>Stops a running task. Any tags associated with the task will be deleted.</p> <p>When <a>StopTask</a> is called on a task, the equivalent of <code>docker stop</code> is issued to the containers running in the task. This results in a <code>SIGTERM</code> value and a default 30-second timeout, after which the <code>SIGKILL</code> value is sent and the containers are forcibly stopped. If the container handles the <code>SIGTERM</code> value gracefully and exits within 30 seconds from receiving it, no <code>SIGKILL</code> value is sent.</p> <note> <p>The default 30-second timeout can be configured on the Amazon ECS container agent with the <code>ECS_CONTAINER_STOP_TIMEOUT</code> variable. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-agent-config.html">Amazon ECS Container Agent Configuration</a> in the <i>Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide</i>.</p> </note>
