Hi I am new to this , I am using python, after initialising a prefect flow , we use flow.run() to start the flow . I would like to know any command which can terminate this flow . Did not find any such thing on prefect doc.

Can you try just control + C? 🙂

oh no , actually I have deployed the flow code to our server. so was thinking to make some API to terminate the flow if not required

if you start the flow with flow.run() then it doesn't run on Server, it runs locally as a local process running on that machine. An alternative way to kill it would be to list the processes, find it and then kill it:

ps -ef | grep python
kill -s SIGTERM PID

yes I have started the flow using a backend API

it's not possible 😄 backend means it's connected to either Prefect Server or Cloud - which one did you use?

I had just made an API , with 2 lines

flow = prefect_flow()
flow.run()

and in another file I have implemented the method prefect_flow() and tasks

I recommend you follow this guide - it will bring more clarity what is happening and why you need either Server or Cloud https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/getting-started/quick-start.html

Thank you . I will go through this .
